Why this class exists
You should not feel lost on your first day.
Jiu-Jitsu can be intimidating when you start in a normal class with people who already know the positions, rules, and rhythm. This beginner class gives you a smoother first step.
Learn the basics properly
Understand the main positions, basic movements, escapes, and how Jiu-Jitsu training works before moving into the regular program.
Build real self-defence confidence
Learn how to stay calm, create space, escape bad positions, and understand the basic logic of defending yourself on the ground.
Train safely from day one
We teach you how to move, tap, partner up, and train with control so you can enjoy the class without unnecessary pressure.
What you will learn
