Frequently asked questions
We offer new potential members 3 free trial classes! Schedule your first trial class here or contact us using the contact form.
Please treat everyone at the school, regardless of rank, with respect and kindness. We do not tolerate "ego training" and expect everyone to always display good sportsmanship. If you're new to the BJJ scene and/or unsure about certain etiquette, don't hesitate to ask Professor Mike or any of the color belts.
For the health and safety of our members, please do not come to class if you are feeling sick. Additionally, shoes are required whenever you are in the locker rooms in order to keep the mats clean.
The complete outline of our rules & policies will be provided for everyone to sign on their first day of class.
We clean the mats and punching bags after each night of class. We use several different disinfecting solutions, all of which have EPA-registered labels that indicate their effectiveness against a variety of bacteria and viruses, including staphylococcus (the bacteria that causes staph infections) and COVID-19.
We also expect our students to wash their clothes and their uniforms, including their belts, after each class to ensure a sanitary training environment.
We encourage you to cross train! You are never required to ask permission to compete or train anywhere else. We believe cross training helps build the martial arts community as well as improve your own personal skills.
The same applies for visiting members of a different school. We would love for you to join us while you're in town. You're welcome to wear your own gi (we don't have rules about visitor's gis). Please contact us if you are planning to drop in.
