Frequently Asked Questions

Is Jiu Jitsu a safe sport?

Yes, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is generally considered a safe martial art because it focuses on technique, control, and submissions without striking. While there is some risk, like in any physical activity, our classes prioritize safety with proper instruction, controlled training, and supervision to minimize injuries.

What to take with you to the first workout?

Slippers, water, towel, shower accessories.

Do you need kimono (gi) right away?

No, you do not need a gi to start training.

Can parents watch the practice?

We understand how important it is for parents to ensure that their children are training in a safe and positive environment. That’s why we invite parents to attend the first few classes to see firsthand that our environment and training meet their expectations. However, after this initial period, we encourage parents to allow their children to train independently. This helps kids develop independence, confidence, and maturity, creating the perfect space for their personal growth and development.
