Not at all! Our Fundamentals program is designed specifically for beginners with zero martial arts experience. We'll guide you step-by-step in a safe, welcoming environment.

For your trial class, comfortable workout clothes (t-shirt and shorts/sweatpants) is perfect. Once you join, we'll provide you with the official Gracie Barra uniform.

Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone! We have students starting in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. You will get in shape by training, and our professors will ensure you train safely at your own pace.

We recommend 2-3 times a week for consistent progress, especially when starting out. However, our flexible schedule allows you to train as often as your membership and lifestyle permit.

Safety is our top priority. Our structured curriculum, strict mat rules, and supervised training environment minimize risks. You'll learn how to train safely and protect your partners.

That's completely normal. In fact, most people who walk through our doors for the first time feel exactly the same way. You won't be expected to know anything, perform perfectly, or keep up with experienced students. Our instructors and team will guide you through the entire class, introduce you to training partners, and make sure you feel comfortable. The hardest part is simply showing up. The rest is our job. Many of our most dedicated students started out feeling nervous, and now the academy feels like their second home.
