Adults 16+ · A Private-First Start To Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
You Don’t Start On The Mat.
You Start With A Coach, Alone.
Two private lessons. Your own gi. Thirty days of guided training. Before you ever step into a room full of strangers.
The Problem With Most Gyms
You’ve Thought About Starting For Years.
This Is Probably Why You Haven’t.
Not the time. Not the money. The fear of walking in on day one and getting rolled — live — in front of a room of strangers who already know what they’re doing.
Most Schools
- Live rolling with strangers, day one
- Borrowed gi, or told to “just wear a t-shirt”
- You learn the move by getting caught in it
- Thrown into the full class, no introduction
- No one checks in on how you’re doing
Foundations Experience
- Two 1-on-1 private lessons before the open mat
- Your own gi and belt, yours from lesson one
- Guided video curriculum — see it before you drill it
- Assigned training partner for your first group class
- Weekly check-in with your coach
How It Works
Thirty Days. Four Stages.
One Clear Path.
Every stage is designed to remove one specific fear before it has a chance to stop you.
Stage 1
Private Lesson One
One-on-one with your coach. No audience. Uniform issued the same day — it’s yours to keep.
Stage 2
Private Lesson Two + Evaluation
A real read on where you’re starting, and what your first weeks on the mat will focus on.
Stage 3
30 Days, Unlimited Classes
Guided app curriculum matched to what you’ll drill each week, plus an assigned training partner for your first group class.
Stage 4
30 Days to Your First Stripe.
A real milestone, marked in front of the people you invite. A beginning, not a dropout statistic.
The same structure used to mark real progress on every belt, applied to your very first month.

Before You Walk In
Questions People Ask First
Am I too old to start?
No. Our own owner started at 39. Jiu-jitsu is built on technique over strength, which means age is context here, not a ceiling.
Do I need to be in shape first?
No. Training builds the fitness — you just need to show up. That’s the entire prerequisite.
Will I have to spar with strangers on day one?
No. Your first two lessons are private, one-on-one with a coach. When you do join the open mat, you’re paired with an assigned partner — never dropped in cold.
What happens after day 30?
You’ll have a clear picture of your progress and options for continuing to train. There’s no membership pitch before then — that’s a rule we hold ourselves to, not just a promise on this page.
What do I wear to lesson one?
Comfortable workout clothes. Your gi and belt are issued at your first private lesson — don’t buy anything before you come in.
