Getting started

Tips for your first class

Starting your first Jiu Jitsu class can be exciting and a little nerve-wracking, but with these tips, you'll be ready to hit the mat with confidence.


  1. Wear comfortable athletic clothing: Opt for stretchy, form-fitting clothes that will allow you to move freely and avoid any wardrobe malfunctions. Do not be barefooted when off the mats!
  2. Arrive Early: Give yourself time to find the location, get settled in, and meet your instructor and fellow students.
  3. Open Mind: Remember that everyone starts as a beginner, and the focus should be on learning and having fun. Don't worry about not knowing any techniques, your instructor will guide you through the basics.
  4. Hydrate: It's important to stay hydrated before, during, and after class, so bring a water bottle with you.
  5. Respect the Culture: Jiu Jitsu is a community-driven sport, so be sure to show respect for your training partners, instructors, and the culture of the sport.
  6. Have Fun: Most importantly, have fun! Jiu Jitsu is a challenging and rewarding sport, and with the right attitude, you'll be hooked from your first class.


Enjoy your first class and good luck on your Jiu Jitsu journey!

Hygiene Tips:

- Shower before and after training sessions.

- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after each training session.

-Do not be barefooted when off the mats.

- Keep your nails short and clean to prevent scratching or injuring your training partners.

- Brush your teeth regularly and maintain good oral hygiene.

For Gear and Equipment:

- Clean your training gear, including your gi, rashguards, and wrestling singlets, after each use.

- Wash your training gear in hot water to kill bacteria and fungi.

- Air-dry your gear completely to prevent the growth of mildew or unpleasant odors.

- Disinfect your training gear regularly using an appropriate antimicrobial spray or detergent.

- Use clean towels or bring your own towel to training sessions.


General Precautions:

- If you have any open wounds, cover them properly with bandages or dressings before training.
