Questions
Will martial arts training make my child aggressive?
No - our Gracie Bullyproof program teaches children to use verbal boundaries and conflict avoidance first. Physical techniques focus on neutralization rather than aggression, promoting kindness through confidence.
Can parents observe classes?
Yes, we encourage parental observation and even offer family training opportunities. Many parents participate in adult classes while their children train.
Is fitness required to start?
No prior fitness is needed. Our beginner programs accommodate all fitness levels, with progression based on technical skill development rather than physical conditioning.
How does BJJ compare to Karate for self-defense?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes technique over striking, making it more effective for smaller individuals. Our curriculum focuses on threat neutralization and controlled resolution rather than offensive techniques.
What should I wear for my first class?
We provide loaner gis for first-time students. Comfortable athletic clothing like leggings and a t-shirt/rashguard works well underneath. Bring water and be ready to train!
