Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need experience to start?
Absolutely not. Most of our students started with zero martial arts experience. Our beginner-friendly classes teach everything from the ground up, and our experienced students are always happy to help newcomers.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable athletic clothing — shorts or joggers and a t-shirt or rash guard. Since we train No-Gi, there is no special uniform required. We train barefoot on the mats.
What does “No-Gi” mean?
No-Gi means we train without the traditional kimono (gi) used in many BJJ schools. Instead, we wear rash guards and shorts. This makes our techniques directly applicable to real-world self-defense since you learn to control an opponent through proper body mechanics and technique rather than grabbing clothing.
Is BJJ good for self-defense?
BJJ is widely considered one of the most effective self-defense martial arts in the world. It teaches you how to control and submit a larger, stronger opponent using technique and leverage — not brute strength. No-Gi training is especially practical because the techniques work regardless of what anyone is wearing.
How much does membership cost?
We offer several all-access membership options to fit your budget. Visit our membership page or call us at (623) 262-2772 for current pricing. Your first class is always free with no obligation.
Do you have kids classes?
Yes! We have dedicated kids BJJ programs for ages 5–12 that build confidence, discipline, and physical fitness in a fun, safe environment. Kids classes are age-appropriate and taught with the same technical excellence as our adult programs.
How often should I train?
We recommend starting with 2–3 classes per week. As you progress, many students train 4–6 times per week. The most important thing is consistency — showing up regularly matters more than training intensity.
