Is this class for me?
“I've never trained before”
Perfect — this class is built for beginners. Everything is taught step by step and you'll be shown each move slowly before trying it.
“Will I have to grapple with big guys?”
No. This is a women-only session, and you'll be paired with training partners of similar size and experience.
“Is it actually useful self-defence?”
Yes. BJJ is the art of controlling and neutralising a larger, stronger person using leverage — the most proven self-defence there is for exactly that situation.
“I'm not fit or flexible enough”
You don't need to be. You get fit by doing Jiu Jitsu, not before it. Rest whenever you need to and go entirely at your own pace.
“What do I wear?”
Comfortable sports clothing with no zips or buttons — leggings and a fitted top are ideal. You don't need a gi to start; we can lend you one.
“I'd feel nervous walking in alone”
Everyone was nervous first time. Message us before you come and we'll meet you at the door and introduce you to the group.
