Your First NO-GI Class
Bring Water and Slip-ons
Please bring water, as FJJA provides free water fountains and water bottles to all members. However, it is recommended to bring water in case the fountains are unavailable.
Slip-on shoes are recommended for ease of access to walking in and out of mat areas without risking hygienic concerns.
Wear Athletic Clothing
FJJA recommends activewear (ie, shorts, athletic t-shirt, or leggings).
Have a Positive Outlook
Bringing a positive attitude to your first class can greatly improve your learning speed and provide the best time to develop bonds with other students or instructors.
Our classes usually go as stated:
Warmups: Basic exercises such as jogging, forward & backward rolls, bear crawls, double-leg shots, sprawls, and hip-escapes. Then we move onto stationary exercises or drills such as bridges, guard passes, triangle shots, break-falls, technical get-ups, shadow wrestling, basic sweeps, or carrying. Then we end warmups with stretching, vital to staying injury-free in Jiu-Jitsu.
Technique: We teach techniques based on curriculum or skill level, depending on class size/skill. We always try to implement one standing move (Wrestling, Judo, BJJ, occasionally MMA) and two sitting moves (BJJ). We may also do positional training based on the techniques we work, also called Specific Training.
Live Training: At the end of most of our regular classes, we do Live Training. This training showcases skill level and physicality via training with a variety of partners by sizes or skill levels. This may also be very occasionally substituted for other activities.
Stretching/Line-up: At the very end of our classes, we stretch and then bow out of classes, shaking hands after hearing announcements made by instructors.

TEENS/ADULTS NO-GI CLASS FAQs
Why Is NO-GI Important?
BJJ NO-GI is a more MMA-based style, it is rooted in realism and is huge for developing self-defense skills, athleticism, and competition preparedness.
Do I Need Experience To Join?
No, we pride ourselves on teaching most of our students with zero firsthand experience. We’ve proven that we can bring up any student, as long as they are willing to put time, effort, and emotion into training.
What If I’m Nervous OR Feel Unhealthy?
Do not worry! We’ve seen hundreds of other students who felt the same way. After a few months of being in the gym consistently, you’ll see progress and strength that forms.
How Much Should I Train?
For the best results in Jiu-jitsu within a period, we’d recommend you train at a minimum of twice per week. Of course, we also understand if you cannot achieve these statistics.
Do I Need To Spar?
No, sparring (live training and competitions) is totally optional, but highly recommended for a fast track of experience, knowledge, and strength or conditioning.
How Long Does It Take To Progress?
At FJJA, most new students see progress within the first 5 months. If you do other training such as cardio, strength training, or other martial arts, this could be faster. Many students are willing to compete within a year or feel confident enough to venture out to other schools when traveling.
