YOUR FIRST CLASS - Here are a few tips to make your first class go smoothly!
Wear something comfortable - a rash guard or close-fitting shirt and a pair of shorts is ideal.
Ladies should wear supportive sports bras and men may want to wear compression shorts.
Bring a bottle of water and refill often - you're going to sweat!
Don’t forget to shower! No one likes a stinky partner. Maintain good personal hygiene and keep your nails trimmed short.
No gi? Don’t stress. We have a range of Gi’s and can advise you on the best ones to buy when you are ready.
Leave your ego at the door - we facilitate a place of shared knowledge and enjoyment.

TIME ON THE MATS
Consistency is key. The more you train the more you’ll learn and the faster you'll progress
Don’t focus on the belt! Yes receiving a new rank is an amazing feeling but focus on your own improvements and the belts will come in time
Train smart - Although it is tempting to overtrain (take our word for it) the more you push yourself the more time you will take to recover and the more prone you will be to injuries
Remember BJJ is a "team" sport. Without your training buddies, you would have no one to practice with so be courteous and help those around you
Don’t neglect areas of your training. Although it is tempting to practice that choke you saw on UFC it is important to have a strong foundation of all BJJ techniques to progress
Have a positive mindset!
