ABOUT THE PROGRAM
What this actually is.
Wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu are trained side by side here, not as two separate worlds. Wrestling gets the fight to the ground and keeps you on top. Jiu-Jitsu decides what happens once you are there. Three grappling classes run each week, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Wrestling builds the front half: takedowns, scrambles, pressure, and the confidence to control where things go. Jiu-Jitsu builds the back half: guard, mount, side control, escapes, and the patience to solve a problem while someone is leaning on you. Train one and you have half the picture.
You don't need a background in either. The beginner curriculum starts at zero: how to fall safely, how to move your hips, how to drill with a partner, before any live rolling. Plenty of members train both. Some pick one and dip into the other. Either works.

How the progression goes.
- WK. 01 to 04
Falls, frames & fundamentals
Breakfalls, hip movement, posture, grips. Falling safely comes before anything else. Drilling only, no live rolls.
- WK. 05 to 12
Positions & technique chains
Guard, mount, side control, and how to move between them. Takedowns start landing because you can read what your partner is doing.
- WK. 13+
Live rolling & sparring
Live rolling and takedown sparring open up, and both stay optional. You'll get tapped a lot before you tap anyone.

Grappling FAQ.
Either works. Most members try both early on and end up loving the mix. Some focus on one and dip into the other when they want. Your membership covers all grappling classes either way.
Absolutely, that's exactly who our beginner classes are built for. Coaches scale every drill to your level. Our typical new student walks in with zero experience.
Grappling is one of the safest combat practices because you control the intensity. Submissions are tapped out before anything happens; takedowns are drilled before any live rounds. We emphasize technique over power, every class.
We run both gi and no-gi BJJ classes, and Wrestling is always no-gi. For your first few classes, just wear a rash guard or fitted t-shirt and athletic shorts. We'll help you pick a gi if you want one later.
Massively. Wrestling and BJJ together cover every aspect of fighting once it leaves striking range. They're the foundation of every modern MMA game.
