Adult no-gi jiu jitsu · 18+
Fundamentals, All Levels, Advanced. In that order.
3 class types so you're never in the wrong room. The First 30 ($100) is 2 classes a week for 30 days: start in Fundamentals, add All Levels when a coach says you're ready, and by day 30 you'll know whether this is your gym.
Straight answer
Is the First 30 for you?
Beginner-safe
Fundamentals
The core positions, escapes and submissions of no-gi, taught slowly with a partner. Positional sparring only when you're ready; no full rounds required. This is where every new member starts.

Built for people with jobs.
Nurses, lawyers, teachers, a guy who closes a restaurant at midnight and trains at 6 AM. 2–3 classes a week, 1 hour each, is the whole commitment; the schedule runs 6 AM to 8:30 PM so it fits around work, not the other way around.
Showers and towel service, so you can train at 11 and be back at your desk by 12:30. Changing rooms with cubbies, a women's room, complimentary coffee, iPad check-in. A gym that's actually clean: nails trimmed, no bare feet off the mat, footwipe at the door.

| Bought separately | $504 | |
| The First 30 | $100 | |
$504 is what these cost bought separately. The First 30 is $100 because the goal is the 30 days, not the sale. It's 2 classes a week on purpose: that's the pace a beginner can keep, and keeping it is what the first 30 days are for.
Make all 8 classes and it pays for itself.
The First 30 is 2 classes a week, 8 in 30 days. Make all 8 and if you continue, the $100 you paid is credited to your first month of membership: $120 instead of $220. 2 a week is the pace a beginner can actually keep for a month, so the target isn't a hoop, it's the point.
There is no refund, and there is nothing to refund. If day 30 comes and this isn't for you, you keep the rashguard, you keep the guide, you keep the calendar, and you don't come back. No exit call, no fee, no "let's talk about why." We'd rather you leave with a rashguard than stay on a contract. The only way to get the $100 back is to make all 8 classes, and at that point most people don't want it back.
