Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at rgjjsfs@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

1) What's the difference between Jiu Jitsu and every other martial art?

Jiu-jitsu is designed to empower the weak against the strong and there are no particular physical requirements to begin learning it. Essentially, anyone can learn jiu-jitsu, especially when taught through the Gracie method!

2) What if I don't have any previous experience?

Not a problem! Our beginner programs are specifically designed from a structure and a safety perspective for first-time Jiu Jitsu students.

3) Do I need to be in shape?

No, stay exactly how you are. You don't get in shape to learn Jiu Jitsu, you do Jiu Jitsu to get in shape!

4) What should I wear?

Just show up in comfortable workout attire and we'll provide everything you need. No special training equipment or protective gear is required.

5) I did some Karate years ago, will we do any Kata's?

No. - Kata is often described as a set sequence of karate moves organized into a pre-arranged fight against imaginary opponents.

6) Can I bring a water bottle, and where do I store it?

Yes, you can bring a water bottle and store it near the edge of the mat.

7) Who will I practice with?

As a first-time student, we will pair you up with a slightly more experienced student who can answer your questions and help guide your learning throughout the class.

8) Will I get injured or embarrassed?

It's understandable that injuries or embarrassment may discourage you from returning. This is why our beginner programs are tailored to create a safe and supportive environment for new students, with the goal of making the classes as encouraging and safe as possible.

9) Will I get punched or kicked?

In our Core Gracie Jiu Jitsu program No one will be punching you or kicking you. We will keep our programs as real as we can without sacrificing the techniques or injuring our students.

10) How will my first class go?
