Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that incorporates techniques from various martial arts disciplines, including striking and grappling, allowing fighters to engage both standing and on the ground.

Depending on the age, skill level, and technique class, one may expect:
- A warm up or warm up drill

- Drilling a combination of various techniques or moves

- Practicing moves with a experienced student

You only need wear comfortable athletic clothing a t-shirt and athletic shorts or tights work perfectly, and water to get started . Avoid zipper, loose clothing, and jewelry.

Not at all, BJJ will get you in shape! Many of our most successful students started their fitness journey on our mats. Our beginner classes are designed to accommodate all fitness levels, and you can work at your own pace. You'll be surprised how quickly your cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility improve through regular training. The best time to start is now, exactly as you are.

BJJ is one of the safest martial arts when practiced properly. Unlike striking arts, there's no punching or kicking, which significantly reduces injury risk. We emphasize controlled technique, tap-early culture (immediately signaling when caught in a submission), and training with awareness of your partner's safety. Minor bumps and bruises can occur as with any physical activity, but serious injuries are rare when students follow instruction and train responsibly.

Gi classes use the traditional BJJ kimono (jacket and pants), which allows for grips on the collar and sleeves, creating a more technical and methodical pace. No-gi classes are done in rash guards and shorts without the gi, making it faster-paced and more slippery, with different grip and control strategies.

Both styles complement each other beautifully, and we recommend training both for well-rounded skills.

Our schedule may change based on what people prefer to train in!

BJJ uses a colored belt system to indicate skill progression.
Kids belt go from White >> Gray >> Yellow >> Orange >> Green. With each belt typically taking 8-12 months based on training schedule.

After 16+ & Adults progress through
White >> Blue >> Purple >> Brown >> Black belt. With each belt typically taking 1-3 years of consistent training (though this varies widely based on training frequency and individual progression).

Promotions are earned through demonstrated technical knowledge, mat time, and character development, not testing fees. The journey is long and rewarding, with each belt representing genuine skill advancement.

Yes! Our Family Classes are designed specifically for parents and children to train side-by-side. Each family member will need their own individual membership, though we offer flexible once-a-week options that make family training accessible.

Absolutely! Women can train in all our adult programs and are valued members of our community.

Many female students train in both women's classes and co-ed classes, enjoying the benefits of both environments.
