Questions
Will martial arts training make my child more aggressive?
Our programs specifically teach conflict avoidance and non-violent resolution. Children learn to use words first and physical defense only as a last resort, with strict focus on control rather than aggression.
Can parents participate in classes with their children?
We encourage family participation. Parents can watch children's classes and join separate adult martial arts programs, creating shared experiences and mutual skill development.
What physical fitness level is required to start?
No specific fitness requirements exist for beginners. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu relies on technique rather than strength, making it accessible to all fitness levels while naturally improving overall conditioning.
What clothing is needed for first classes?
No special equipment is required initially. Comfortable workout clothes with a t-shirt are appropriate for the first 10 trial days. Official uniforms can be purchased after starting classes.
