Real words from real members of the Contender BJJ family.
Everything you need to know before stepping on the mats.
Not at all! The vast majority of our students start with zero martial arts experience. Our beginner fundamentals classes are specifically designed to safely introduce you to the basics.
Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone. It was designed so that a smaller, weaker person can defend against a larger attacker. You will get in shape as you train, and you can go at your own pace.
For your trial class, comfortable athletic wear (like a t-shirt and gym shorts or leggings without zippers/pockets) is perfect. We'll provide a loaner Gi if needed.
Safety is our #1 priority. We maintain a highly controlled environment, strictly enforce safe training practices, and ensure all beginners are closely supervised by our expert coaches.
