Every class is an hour: a technique taught and broken down, time to drill it while a coach watches and corrects, then live practice scaled to who you're with. First-nighters, recreational members and competitors share the room without being asked to train at the same pace.
What we don't do is teach you a simplified version to get you through your first months. You'll be shown the technique as it's actually supposed to be done, slower and with more explanation, because the alternative is learning something you'll have to unlearn.
Shorts or leggings, rash guard or close-fitting shirt, nothing with zippers or pockets, bring water. We'll handle the rest.
No-Gi
No-Gi is all we run. It's faster and more open than training in a gi: grips slide off, transitions happen quicker, and the game looks like the modern grappling you see at ADCC, the world championship of no-gi grappling.
It's also the version our head coach competes in at the top of the sport, which means the details you're taught on a Tuesday are the details being tested at that level.
There's no gi class and no gi to buy. Shorts and a rash guard, or a t-shirt you don't mind getting pulled around.
All-levels, technique, and live.
All-levels no-gi runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday 6:30–7:30am and Tuesday and Thursday 6:00pm. Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings also run 6:00pm no-gi technique and 7:00pm no-gi live.
Sunday 2:00–3:30pm is the free class. Owen coaches that slot.
If you've never trained, pick the time you can actually make. Tell us you're new when you book.
If you've never trained before
You will be the least experienced person on the mat on your first night. So was everyone else who's ever been good at this, including both of us, and there is no version of learning jiu-jitsu that skips that part.
A coach is on the mat for every class, and both of us are there every evening. You get paired on purpose. Nobody is left in a corner to work it out alone.
Tell us it's your first class when you book. That's all we need.
