Through Struggle Comes Greatness
Try Your First Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Class
New to BJJ? You do not need any experience, special equipment, or prior knowledge to get started.
Sign up for a trial class below. When you arrive, we will show you around, explain how class works, and pair you with an experienced student who can help guide you through the session. You will not be expected to figure everything out on your own.
Before your first visit, please take a few minutes to review our BJJ Etiquette & Hygiene Guidelines.
You can also review our BJJ Terms page to learn some of the basic terminology you’re likely to hear.
Our classes are open to men and women of all ages, making for a very diverse group. It also tends to raise some questions, so check out this page for some info on that.

Nobody expects you to memorize BJJ terminology before your first class, and it is normal to feel a little nervous. We will make sure you know where to go, what to do, and who to ask if you need help.
