Your first class is an introduction to our academy, instructors, and training environment. You'll get a feel for how our classes are structured, learn basic guards/positions/techniques, and experience what training at Carlson Gracie South Bay is all about.
Safety is one of our top priorities. Our instructors emphasize proper technique, controlled training, and respect for your training partners. We work to create an environment where everyone can learn and improve safely.
Absolutely not. BJJ is for people of different ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels. You don't need to be in shape before starting. Training is a great way to build strength, improve conditioning, and become more active.
Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows you to move freely. A fitted T-shirt or rash guard and athletic shorts or leggings are a great place to start. We'll help you understand what equipment you'll need moving forward.
You can also purchase grappling gear from our webstore here: link.
Any gi with any branding/affiliation is okay.
Not at all. While Carlson Gracie South Bay has a strong competition culture, competing is entirely optional. Some students train for fitness, self-defense, or personal development, while others pursue competition. Everyone is welcome.
