We’ll personally welcome you at the GYM and guide you through the first class, ok? I want to make sure that you make the most of your visit.
How to Prepare for Your First Class at 617 BJJ?
Please arrive 10 minutes before class. We’ll make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
You don't need to own a uniform for your trial class. Just wear a t-shirt underneath the one we provide. Bring a spare to change into after class since you’ll be working hard and may get sweaty!
Bring a bottle of water as well.
While we are barefoot on the mats, footwear is required elsewhere in the academy. Most students wear sliders or flip flops for quick and easy access to and from the mats.
What does a typical class at 617 BJJ look like?
1º step
Class begins with a warm-up or some drills. Then the Professor will demonstrate a position or technique, and you'll get to practice it with a partner.
2º step
You'll be paired with a more experienced student who will help you understand the moves. Don’t hesitate to ask questions; our Professors are always happy to help!
3º step
The class ends with positional sparring, where you'll work with a bit more resistance. It's not a full round, and your partner will take care of you, giving you a chance to apply the techniques without full compliance.
Looking forward to seeing you on the mat!
