FAQ
What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)?
This is a grappling based martial art (no strikes) that emphasizes dominant positions and submissions to secure and subdue our opponents/attackers. This art utilized in many organizations like the UFC, Military, and Law Enforcement to name a few. Being able to subdue and control others without ever throwing a strike is not only possible but quite commonly achieved. If this sounds interesting to you or your child, check out our free trial class to try this in person. We’d love to have you give this a try!
What should I bring to my free trial class?
Although we require a gi for training in our gi classes, for trials no such investment is needed. If you have one already, please wear that, if not, we don’t like asking our trials to purchase gis without having tried our classes. Instead, slim fitting clothing like shorts and a t-shirt/rash guard is recommended. For safety, please no exposed buttons or zippers or open pockets
How do I sign up as a member?
We handle all signups through our website. Click the “Academy & Memberships” page and click the Membership button to sign up via our portal
Are there any uniform requirements?
Similar to above, the gi class does require a jiu jitsu gi while our nogi class requires shorts and a top that are slim fitting and safe. For example, no exposed pockets or exposed zippers/buttons
What classes are recommended for beginners?
Although students can participate in all the Jiu Jitsu classes from the beginning, our “Foundations” class is specifically designed for beginners in mind
Where can I purchase a gi/uniform?
We do not have formal uniform policies, as long as you have a jiu jitsu gi in good condition, we’re happy. Best deals on gis has be to Amazon. Can’t beat those prices!
Do I need to reserve a class?
Please ignore the reserve feature for now. We have not found a need to use that feature but may be activated at a later date if necessary
Do you provide private lessons?
We do, we recommend training with our various coaches and then reaching out to them directly for availablity and pricing. Based on availability, skill level, and experience, costs may differ from coach to coach
Do the students/instructors regularly compete?
Yes! We highly encourage competing and have had made competition and competition style classes a fundamental focus for our school. But even though we encourage competing and see many benefits from it, we don’t require it. But the students who don’t compete will still benefit from our focus on competition and participation in them
What are cross training opportunities?
We are part of a larger association called JG Academy. This association has many schools in the Bay Area and beyond. As a Baem student, you will gain access to all teh JG schools at no cost. Great to cross training and visiting other schools within the safety of known peers. Please reach out to us or speak with a coach to learn more
