Adult Jiu-Jitsu

Not a crash course. A craft.

Most adults come in with one of two worries: they'll get hurt, or they'll be the weakest one in the room. Neither happens here. Our white-belt curriculum teaches you to control position before you're asked to escape one, and live rounds are staffed by coaches who match your intensity to your experience.

You'll drill Gi and No-Gi. You'll learn the guard, passing, top control, submissions, escapes, and takedowns — in the order they actually build on each other. You'll be invited to compete when you're ready. You'll be told the honest truth about your technique, always.

Curriculum

What you'll actually learn.

Every student goes through the same progression. The order isn't a suggestion — it's how the art builds.

Every item below is something you'll experience in your first few weeks. No fluff.

  • 01 Positional foundations Closed guard. Mount. Side control. Back. Escapes and transitions between each.
  • 02 Guard play Closed, open, spider, De La Riva. Retention and sweeps before submissions.
  • 03 Passing the guard Pressure passing, speed passing, Gi grips vs. No-Gi frames.
  • 04 Submissions by position Chokes and joint locks taught by where they live — not as a shopping list.
  • 05 Takedowns and stand-up Wrestling basics and Judo throws. Enough to get it to the mat, safely.
  • 06 Competition prep Optional track. Drills, rule walkthroughs, and pre-tournament game planning.
Your first visit

What actually happens.

No fluff. Here's the three-step picture of your first day on our mat.

  1. 01

    Arrive 10 minutes early

    Introduce yourself at the front. Grab a loaner Gi if you don't have one. Bathrooms and mats are ready.

  2. 02

    Partner drilling, then live rounds

    You'll warm up with the class, drill two or three techniques, then live rounds — matched by a coach to your experience.

  3. 03

    Leave with a plan

    Before you walk out, you'll know what class to come back to. No pressure, no sales pitch.

Before you come in

The real questions.

Answers to the four things most new members ask before their first class.

I've never done BJJ before. Will I be lost?

No. Our white-belt fundamentals follow a fixed curriculum that assumes zero experience. You'll start where everyone starts: position, posture, escapes — then build from there.

Do I need to be in shape?

No. Our members include desk workers, parents, and people recovering from injuries. Class intensity is matched to your experience, not the other way around.

Will I get hurt?

No sport is zero-risk, but our room is watched. Live rounds are coached. Ego is not permitted. Injuries come from rooms without oversight — we don't run one.

What do I wear to the first class?

Athletic clothes for your free trial — a rash guard and shorts, or sweats. If you stay, you'll want a Gi (we sell them or recommend where to buy).

Still not sure? Just come in. The free class is the answer.
