The four questions everyone asks first.

I have never done this before. Will I be the only beginner?

No. The Beginner Fundamentals class is capped to beginners and new white belts, and it runs five days a week. Most people in the room started within the last few months. You will not be dropped into advanced sparring on day one — or in your first month.

Do I need to be in shape first?

This is the most common reason people delay for a year, and it is backwards. Jiu-Jitsu is how you get in shape. You set your own pace in every round, you can sit out any time, and nobody is watching you. Come as you are.

What should I bring and wear to my first class?

Shorts without pockets or zippers, a t-shirt, a water bottle, and short fingernails. We will lend you a gi if the class needs one. Arrive about fifteen minutes early so we can show you around and get you signed in.

Is it going to hurt? Am I going to get injured?

Jiu-Jitsu is a contact sport, so it is honest work — you will be sore. Serious injury is rare and almost always comes from ego, which is why sparring rules are enforced from the top belt down. Beginners drill and do positional sparring before they do full rounds, and tapping is treated as information, not defeat.
