1. Q: Do I need to bring my own Gi for my first class? A: No, we typically have loaner gis that you can borrow. However our sizes may be limited when you visit. We ask that you always wear athletic attire (gym clothes, board shorts/t-shirts) to wear under your Gi. If you have your own Gi you may bring it no matter the color or patches. In the event we do not have a Gi for you then you may still train in No-Gi. Please note Thursdays is our only No-Gi class all other classes are in Gi. We offer custom order Gi’s with our patches that take about a week to be delivered, inquire within academy.

2. Q: Is the academy open during normal business hours A: No, we are only open during our scheduled classes. We open approximately 10 min before class starts and close 10 min after. For the adult classes all classes are 60 minutes broken down into warm up/stretch, techniques, drills. Then there is a 45 min sparring/open mat time after each class. Kids classes are 45 minutes except Friday big kids class which is 60 min. Kids do sparring/open mat within their class time.

3. Q: Do I need any previous experience or be in really good shape to train? A: No, our classes are designed so that anyone can train even with no previous experience and those trying to get healthier/in better shape.
