Yes. In our kids’ classes, we divide the mats by age and skill level to ensure appropriate instruction. For adults, we offer separate class options for Fundamentals and All Levels.
Safety is our top priority. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we teach proper technique and emphasize control over strength, which helps minimize the risk of injury. Beginners start by learning how to move, fall, and protect themselves before any live training. Classes are always supervised by experienced instructors who pair students appropriately by size, age, and skill level. Like any physical activity, there’s always some risk, but we do everything possible to create a safe, supportive environment so you can train with confidence.
