WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The session
Your first jiu-jitsu class in Moorgate is stand alone lesson of a 24-lesson beginners' programme — a complete class in itself, and the start of a structured path. You'll work from standing to the ground, and leave with something to build on.
The People
You'll be paired with a team member who knows what they're doing. The coach will know your name . Safety and fun is our priority .
The Kit
No-gi: compression tights with shorts over the top, and a compression shirt (rash guard). If you don't own those, shorts without zips or pockets and a plain t-shirt will do for a first class.
Gi: we'll lend you one, or bring your own if you have it.
Either way: bare feet on the mats and flip-flops off it, nails cut short, no jewellery, and bring water.
Before you Arrive
You'll need to complete a short waiver before your first session. It's in the booking system and only takes a few minutes.
