Getting Started

To get started choose a class and show up - simple as that!  Any class in our schedule, other than the bi-weekly workshop class, would be a good class to start with.  Be sure to show up 15 minutes early to sign paperwork and if needed, get fitted for a loaner gi.  

This is a contact sport and out of respect for your fellow students it is important to come to class with good hygiene and clean Gi or NoGi attire.  Nails should be clipped and long hair should be pulled back.

NoGi attire - a fitted athletic shirt with either shorts (longer than 5 inches) and/or squat-proof leggings is acceptable.  All NoGi clothing should be free of zippers, buttons and pockets.

In addition to clean Gi/NoGi wear, you may want to bring:
- sandals/slippers
- mouthguard
- water bottle

If you have any questions feel free to contact us!


1-Week Free Trial

1-Week Free Trial

Our 1-week free trial period gives students the opportunity to try as many of our classes as they like during that week.  We encourage you to try at least one Gi and one NoGi class during this period.  With the exception of bi-weekly workshop classes, any class would be an appropriate class to start.  

No experience necessary and all fitness levels are welcome!
