Class Descriptions
Gi Class
This class consists of a warm up, drilling technique and rolling - all done in the gi. The gi is a uniform traditionally worn by BJJ practitioners. If you don't own a gi, that's ok - just wear something you can move in and we'll loan you one of ours until you get your own.
No-Gi
A warm up followed by drilling a no-gi specific technique. We finish the class with some live rolling rounds. No-gi is done without the traditional uniform - wear something you can move in - think shorts or leggings and a t-shirt.
Self-directed learning
An opportunity to drill techniques (especially syllabus based) or test ideas, supplemented with situational sparring and standard sparring.
Drilling/rolling class
Drilling sessions led by each student's interests and needs and supported by coaches on hand to answer questions, offer guidance, and to test out theories followed by a rolling open mat.
*All classes are for adults aged 16 and above. We do not offer kids classes.
What to expect
We understand it can be a little daunting coming to a new gym or club. Here are a few tips to get you started.
- For your first class wear something comfortable - gym clothes are fine.- Make sure your nails are cut short.- If you have long hair, tie it up.- Arrive at class at least fifteen minutes prior to the start time.- Please introduce yourself to the coach.- Bring a bottle of water and a mouth guard if you have one.- You'll be in physical contact with lots of people - don't forget your physical hygiene (eg: deoderant, fresh breath) and if you are sick, please stay at home.- And remember, ask plenty of questions - everyone is friendly and willing to help!
