GETTING STARTED AT TORUS BJJ

Welcome to TORUS BJJ! Whether you're an adult looking to start training or a parent bringing your child to class, we’re excited to have you on the mats. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.

SIGN UP FOR YOUR FREE WEEK TRIAL

We offer a free week trial so you can experience our classes firsthand. When signing up, you’ll select the date you’d like to start, which will be your first class. But don’t worry—if you can’t make that specific day, just come in when you can!

 

You can attend any of our Adult BJJ classes or the appropriate Kids BJJ classes based on age. Check our schedule and pick the class that fits best for you. You can log into the portal and sign up for your free trial classes directly, so we know when you're coming.

WHAT TO WEAR

For your first class, wear comfortable athletic gear—nothing too loose, and avoid zippers or buttons as they can cause injuries or damage mats. If you have a gi, you’re welcome to wear it, but it’s not required. We sometimes have loaner gis available for adults, but you can also train in your workout clothes.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A CLASS

  • When you arrive, we’ll pair you with an experienced training partner who is great at working with beginners. They’ll help guide you through class and make sure you feel comfortable.

  • Each class starts with a warm-up, followed by technical instruction and drilling. You’ll learn new techniques and then practice them with a partner.

  • Live training drills are a core part of the class. We focus on positional escapes and controlled resistance to help you apply techniques in real time. Your partner will walk you through the basics of each position while guiding you through the drills.

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE TO START?

 

Not at all! Our classes are designed for beginners and experienced students alike. The only class currently on our schedule that requires experience is our Advanced Class. We will guide you every step of the way.

I'M A BEGINNER, WHAT CLASS SHOULD I ATTEND? 

Currently, all our kids and adult classes are designed for beginners and experienced students alike, which the exception of the Advanced BJJ class, so sign up for any or all that suit your schedule.

CAN MY CHILD TRY A CLASS BEFORE COMMITTING?

Yes! Kids can also do a free trial week and attend the age-appropriate classes.

CAN I STAY AND WATCH MY CHILDREN’S CLASSES?

Yes, during the trial period. However, we’ve found that kids tend to focus better when parents aren’t watching closely, so we encourage giving them space to engage fully in class. With that said, you're welcome to watch class from time-to-time.

WHAT IF I'M NOT IN SHAPE?

No problem! Jiu-jitsu is for everyone. You'll build fitness and skill at your own pace.

DO WE NEED ANY SPECIAL GEAR FOR THE TRIAL?

Just wear athletic clothing. If you continue after your trial, we’ll hook you up with a gi.

I SIGNED UP FOR A TRIAL, BUT I HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO COME IN. CAN I TRY NOW?

Absolutely! Just show up to class, and we’ll get you all sorted.
