It's the thing we hear most from people who haven't tried a class yet. The second is a worry about getting hurt. Here's how both get handled on the mat.
Tuesday Fundamentals is built for first-timers. You learn positions and escapes at a pace you set, and water breaks are yours to take whenever you need them.
A tap ends every hold. Training partners are there to help you learn, not to win, and a coach is watching the room the whole time.
Teenagers, parents, grandparents, first responders. One member called it a wonderful mix of young and older grapplers with great attitudes.

No. Most people start with no experience at all, and fitness comes from training rather than before it. Tuesday BJJ Fundamentals is the easiest place for a new adult to begin.
A rash guard or athletic shirt and shorts without pockets, plus sandals and a water bottle. You'll train barefoot or in wrestling or boxing shoes. Loaner gis are available for gi classes.
Pricing depends on the program and who in your family is training, so we go over options in person during your free week. If you'd like to talk it through first, call or text (740) 504-1367.
Kids Jiu-Jitsu is for ages 5 to 13 and meets Monday and Wednesday at 5:30 PM. Teens 13 and up who are ready can join adult classes, and Saturday's 11:00 AM class is open to all ages, so parents and kids can train together.

Yes. Through the Legion Project, the Thursday 6:30 PM no-gi class is free for veterans, active-duty military, police, fire, EMS and other first responders, including park and resource officers, whether or not you're a member. Bring proof of service, like a military, veteran or department ID.
In gi classes you wear the traditional jacket and pants, and grips on the fabric are part of the game. No-gi is trained in a rash guard and shorts, so it's faster and relies more on grips on the body. Both teach the same core jiu-jitsu, and you can try both during your free week.
