What stops most people
The honest answers
I'm out of shape.
That's where almost everyone starts. Class builds your conditioning. Waiting until you're fit means waiting forever.
Am I too old?
No. One of our members started after 40 and earned her blue belt two years later. Read: Am I Too Old to Start Jiu Jitsu?
Will I get hurt?
You control the pace. You tap when you're caught, your partner lets go, and you start again. Rules are enforced on this mat, and egos stay at the door.
I don't know anyone.
You will by the end of your first week. Training partners become friends fast when you're solving the same problems together.
Gi or No-Gi?
Both are on the schedule. Gi teaches grips and patience; No-Gi is faster and closer to self-defense in street clothes. Most members do both.
I wrestle. Is this worth it in the offseason?
Yes. You already have takedowns and top pressure. Jiu jitsu adds the bottom game and the scrambles that keep your mat sense sharp between seasons. It does not replace wrestling practice. Read: Offseason Wrestling Training in Milford
A large group of women train here. Blue, purple and brown belts earned on this mat.
