Questions

Good to know

Do I need any experience?

No. Most of our members started as complete beginners. Come to a class for beginners and we take it from there.

What should I bring?

Comfortable training clothes, water and something to wear on your feet off the mat. Ask us if you need to borrow anything for your first class.

Can I try a class first?

Yes. Book a trial class and come and meet us. You decide afterwards.

What is the gym like?

It presently is a small, home-based gym in a basement with about 200 square feet of mat space -- room for about 6 adults to train at once, and 4 to do (controlled) live rolling.

There is a bathroom for changing.

What ages can participate?

We have had participants from teens up into their sixties. We adapt the training to the ages and abilities of the participants.

Do you require competition?

We encourage competition but do not require it. Many of our participants are "hobbyists" who do jiu jitsu as a healthy activity, for fitness, or similar.

Do I have to buy a gi or other equipment?

We do not require that you buy uniforms or equipment. However, a mouthpiece is STRONGLY recommended.

What is your "lineage"?

Murray has earned four black belts in different arts/systems over his martial arts life (and color belts in several more). His most recent black belt in Jiu Jitsu was granted by Walter Vital of Cascao Jiu Jitsu. Stronghold is a Cascao JJ affiliate.

Your first class at Stronghold Jiu Jitsu is the hardest step. We make the rest easy.
