Your first class
Day one,
step by step.

Borrow a gi
Clean, folded, in your size. Lockers, showers and towels are on us.
- 03
Warm up together
Fifteen minutes of easy movement. Nobody is keeping score.
- 04
Start with Fundamentals
Your first class is Fundamentals, made for people who are brand new. You learn the basics one step at a time, at your own pace.
- 05
No hard sparringOur promise
Not on day one. You leave having learned something, not having been tested.
Why we train differently
Hard training. Soft landings.
- 01
A curriculum, not a lottery
Sixteen-week cycles. You always know what you’re learning this week, and why it matters next week.
- 02
Safety is the culture
Tap early, tap often. Coaches pair partners by size and experience. Injuries are the exception here, not a rite of passage.
- 03
Nobody’s proving anything
Higher belts help lower belts. Leave your ego at the door, and your shoes on the rack.

FAQ
The four questions
everyone asks.
Something else? Text us: (928) 612-3939
- Do I need to be in shape?
- No. Jiu-jitsu gets you in shape, not the other way around. Sit out any drill, any time.
- Will I get hurt?
- Injuries are rare here. No hard sparring for beginners, partners matched by size, a coach on every round.
- Am I too old?
- Some of our beginners started in their 60s. Jiu-jitsu rewards patience far more than athleticism.
- Is there a contract?
- No. Month to month, pause anytime, cancel with 30 days’ notice. That’s the whole policy.
