01 Adults · Gi & No-Gi

Leverage beats
strength. Every time.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art and a fighting system built so that people of any size can defend themselves. It is also the best full-body workout most people will ever find, and the only one where an hour disappears because you were concentrating too hard to notice.

We structure the monthly curriculum so that you learn the same moves in every class, regardless of day or time. That is what turns scattered attendance into actual progress — and it is why people who train twice a week here still improve week after week.

02 What you get

What this program
actually does.

One

An intense, full-body workout

Every joint, every muscle group, and a heart rate that goes places a treadmill never takes it. Weight comes off as a side effect.

Two

Self-defense that works on bigger people

You learn to use your body weight and your opponent's against them — in the ring or against someone who means it.

Three

Fundamentals classes, every single day

A separate beginners class runs daily. You are never dropped into an advanced round on day one.

Four

Gi and no-gi in the same week

Gi Mondays and Wednesdays, no-gi Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each one exposes what the other lets you get away with.

03 Timetable

Jiu jitsu on the schedule

Fifty-three classes run every week across the whole academy. These are the ones that matter for this program — the full grid, with a live “on the mats now” marker, is on the schedule page.

    04 Questions

    The things people
    ask first.

    I'm completely unfit. Should I get in shape first?

    No — that is the most common reason people wait years and then regret it. Fundamentals classes are built for exactly this. The fitness arrives on its own.

    Will I get hurt?

    Jiu jitsu is trained at full resistance, which sounds worse than it is. Beginners drill technique before they spar, submissions are released the instant a partner taps, and the room polices itself carefully.

    Gi or no-gi — which should I start with?

    Either. Gi is more technical and slower; no-gi is faster and more athletic. Most students end up doing both, and the two make each other better.

    How often should I train?

    Twice a week is enough to progress steadily. Three or four and you'll move quickly. The schedule is built so that a full-time job is not an excuse.
