I want to try a class—how do I get started?
We’d love to have you join us!
Email the head of our BJJ program Jeff at Jeff@1801.life who will guide you towards the right class to ensure you have a great experience with us!
What should I wear to my first class?
If you have BJJ gear (gi, rash guard, and shorts), bring it along! If not, no problem—just wear comfortable workout clothes without zippers or buttons to avoid snags during training.
Do you offer gi or no-gi classes?
We alternate between gi and no-gi classes weekly to give you the best of both worlds. Check the schedule to see what’s on for the week!
Do I have to compete?
Not at all! While many of our students are world-class competitors, just as many train for fun, fitness, or self-defense. Whether you want to compete or simply enjoy learning BJJ, we’re here to support your goals.
Do you offer self-defense classes?
Our BJJ classes teach the core fundamentals of the art, making them an excellent foundation for self-defense. While we don’t offer separate self-defense-only classes, learning BJJ gives you practical skills for self-defense along with the many other benefits of this martial art.
