Questions

Everything you need to know

Thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Here are the answers to the questions we get asked most.

Do I need any experience to start?

No. You can start completely from scratch. Grapple Hacker is designed to welcome beginners, and you will be guided through what to do during your first session. You do not need previous martial arts experience or to be particularly fit before you start.

Is Grapple Hacker No Gi?

Yes. Grapple Hacker focuses on No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. That means you train without the traditional Gi, using suitable training clothing such as a rash guard and shorts or leggings.

What happens during my first session?

You will be shown what to expect, introduced to the training environment and guided through the session. Classes are structured around movement, technique, drilling and appropriate practical training. You will not be expected to know what you are doing when you walk through the door.

Do I need to be fit before I start?

No. People start Jiu Jitsu at very different fitness levels. You do not need to get fit before you begin. Your fitness, movement and conditioning can develop as part of your training.
