Adult Program

A structured program with a clear path from day one

Starting jiu-jitsu can feel overwhelming without the right structure. Our program is designed to give you clear instruction, organized classes, and a path you can follow from your first day forward.

Whether you’re stepping on the mat for the first time or looking for a new academy to continue your training, you’ll find a focused and supportive environment where you can build fitness, develop real skill, gain confidence, and progress at your own pace through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Fundamentals

All Levels, Age 13+

Designed for all experience levels, the Fundamentals class focuses on building a strong base.

Techniques are broken down clearly, with time to drill, understand, and apply them. New students build confidence, while more experienced students sharpen their foundation.

White Belt Class

Beginner Focused

The White Belt class is designed to help newer students get up to speed faster.

 

You’ll focus on the core positions, movements, and concepts that make everything else easier to understand as you continue training.

Private Training

Optional

One-on-one sessions designed to provide personalized feedback and help you move forward more efficiently based on your goals.

Training Environment

Clear instruction. Respectful training. A room built for learning.

Walking into a new gym can feel uncomfortable if you do not know what to expect. Our classes are coached in a way that gives you structure without pressure, so you can focus on learning and improving from the start.

People train hard, but they also help each other. Coaches are present, questions are encouraged, and no one is trying to prove something at your expense.

You don’t need experience to start. You just need to show up.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Philadelphia

First Class

What to expect when you start

Starting something new can feel intimidating, especially walking into a room full of unfamiliar faces. Our classes are structured to make that first experience straightforward and comfortable from the moment you arrive.

Your first class

You don’t need any experience to get started. We’ll guide you through everything. You’ll be welcomed in, introduced to the space, and warm up as a group.

 

From there, you’ll learn fundamental techniques for control, positioning, and defense. Classes are structured so you can follow along even if it’s your first time on the mat.

Training and pacing

As you get more comfortable, you’ll begin working with training partners under guidance from the instructor. Live training is introduced progressively so you can build confidence before moving at full pace.

The environment

Even though training involves live grappling, the room is controlled, respectful, and focused on learning. Students work together to improve, not to prove anything.

What to bring

  • Comfortable athletic clothing
  • Flip-flops or slides (required off the mat)
  • Water bottle
  • A change of clothes

Basic hygiene is important. Come in clean with trimmed nails to help keep training safe for everyone.

FAQ

No. Many students start with no prior experience. Classes are structured to help you learn step by step from the beginning.

No. Training will help you build fitness over time. You do not need to prepare before starting.
Wear comfortable athletic clothing, and bring a water bottle and flip flops/slides to wear off the mat. If you do not have training gear yet, we will guide you on what you need.
If you have previous experience, reach out through our contact form and we will help you find the right classes.

Yes. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches practical control and positioning that can be applied in real situations, while also building overall skill and awareness.

START YOUR FIRST CLASS

You don’t need experience. Just show up and we’ll take it from there.
