Your Child's First Class: What to Expect
Nervous about the first visit? Don't be. Here is exactly how it goes.
No experience needed
Almost every kid starts knowing nothing. The first class is built for brand-new beginners and moves at their pace.
Just wear comfy clothes
A t-shirt and shorts or leggings are perfect. There's no gi or gear to buy, we'll sort that out later if they keep training.
Arrive about 10 minutes early
Come a few minutes before class so we can say hi, get them signed in, and show you both where everything is.
Safety comes first
Classes are built around control before contact and are supervised the whole time, one reason Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has one of the lowest injury rates in martial arts.
