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’s 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 can’t grab clothing — you learn to control an opponent through proper body mechanics and technique.
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 you or your attacker are 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 — no obligation.
Do you have kids classes?
Yes! We have dedicated kids BJJ programs 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.
