Suitable for complete beginners, regardless of age, gender, size, fitness levels or flexibility. Open to teenagers and adults, but with a minimum weight requirement of 50kg for teens. There will always be a main coach and one to two assistant coaches per class, in order to ensure that everyone gets the attention and training that they deserve.
We run beginners classes 5 days a week from Mondays to Saturdays (see timetable here). Mondays to Fridays are in the gi, and Saturday mornings are No-Gi. Our classes are highly structured, and based upon a beginners programme developed by our head coach which will take you through the all the basics that you need to know in order to progress to the next level.
Each cycle of the program lasts for approximately 12 weeks, and you are welcome to join at any point during the cycle. It does get progressively more complicated, so do let us know if you would prefer to join when the programme cycles back to the beginning instead.
There is no full sparring in the beginners classes, only positional sparring.
You will need a BJJ gi for these classes. For the No-Gi class on Saturdays, you will require a separate kit (please see here).
