BOUT 001 · THE DEAL

Show up.
Learn something useful.
Sleep brilliantly. Repeat.

Six weeks. One class a week, Tuesdays at 7pm. By the end you'll know roughly what BJJ is, you'll have rolled (gently) with other beginners, and you'll have a clear idea whether you want to keep going.

You will not be thrown into open mats with a 25-year-old purple belt named Brad. You will not be expected to know anything. You will not be doing burpees until you cry — that's a different gym.

What we'll actually cover

BOUT 002 · WEIGH-IN

Roll around with strangers

who, give it a few weeks, become some of your favourite people.

△ For you if…

  • You're 18–65 and not actively dying
  • You've been "thinking about doing BJJ" for over a year
  • You want to try it without signing up for a 12-month membership
  • You're worried you're too unfit, too old, or too uncoordinated. You're not. And if you are, we'll meet you there.

△ Not for you if…

  • You're trying to be in a UFC fight by Christmas
  • You think martial arts is about hurting people
  • You're allergic to other humans
ROUND 02 · DAY ONE

What day one
looks like

You walk in. Someone says hi. You get changed. You learn how to step onto the mat without offending anyone. You spend an hour learning two or three things. You sweat a bit. You go home. Your forearms are a little sore. You sleep extremely well.

Repeat five more times.

BOUT 003 · THE QUESTIONS

No dumb
questions.
Only these.

I'm not fit enough.
You don't need to be. You'll get fitter doing this than at a regular gym, but fitness isn't the entry bar. The bar is "can you walk into a building."
I'm too old.
We've had people start in their 50s. BJJ is one of the few martial arts deliberately designed around the idea that smaller, weaker, older people should still be able to look after themselves. That's the whole pitch.
I'll get injured.
Beginners' classes are deliberately low-intensity. You're more likely to do yourself a mischief playing touch footy on a Saturday.
I don't have a gi.
Wear shorts and a t-shirt. We'll sort you out before you need anything fancy.
I'm a woman / will I be the only one?
No. We've run four of these courses so far — they've averaged about 70% women. This is our fifth. You won't be the only one.
I don't know anyone.
Nobody does on day one. By week three you'll know everyone's first name and probably their day job.
What if I drop off after a class or two?
Most people do. Some come once and never again, some make it to week three, very few do all six. That's just the game.
And refunds?
No formal policy on paper — but if you ask for one, you'll get one. That's worked fine for four cohorts and we're not about to start being weird about it now.
What if it's full?
20 spots cap, hard. If it's sold out, hit us and we'll waitlist you for cohort six.
