6-Week Beginner's
Jiu-Jitsu Program.
You'll leave knowing how to control someone, get out of a bad spot, and defend yourself. Alongside other beginners.
● No commitment ● Spots limited ● Guaranteed start with other beginners
You've thought about trying jiu-jitsu.
Maybe for months. Maybe for years.
Every time you looked into it, something stopped you.
- The gym looked intimidating.
- You felt you needed to get in shape first.
- You didn't want to be the only beginner.
That fear is the reason most people never start. It's also the reason this program exists.
You will not be the only beginner. Everyone starts on the same day, from the same spot, with the same nerves. And in six weeks, you'll all know exactly what to do when someone tries to put you on the ground.
Meet Your 6-Week Coach
Mike Frausto
The beginners program is built on three questions:
- Can you control someone?
- Can you defend and escape bad situations?
- Can you stay safe with strikes?
If yes to all three — that's real jiu-jitsu. Everything else is a bonus.
The 6-Week Beginners Program was built for the people who almost didn't walk through the door.

I had an amazing experience at New Ground Jiu Jitsu. I had always been interested in trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but I was honestly pretty nervous and hesitant about starting. When I found out they offered a 6-week Fundamentals Program, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to give it a shot.
From day one, every coach was incredibly welcoming, personable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping beginners learn. They created an environment where asking questions and making mistakes felt completely normal, which made learning so much less intimidating.
Extremely good vibes at New Ground! The mat and facilities are immaculate, and the coaches are experienced and attentive during class. As a newcomer to the sport I was intimidated, but the staff, coaches, and members at New Ground made me feel welcome, safe and supported.
Clean, quality mat space, really great vibes! This will be my fifth BJJ school and I am super excited to start training no-gi only. Nobody needs the gi. Mike is a super nice guy, very approachable and very helpful.
One of my good friends is starting BJJ here as a complete beginner and I'm excited for her to go through their beginner program.

I'm not in great shape. Is that going to be a problem?
What's "no-gi"? Do I need to buy a gi?
How often are the classes?
What if I miss a class?
What if I sign up and it's not for me?
What if I've trained a little bit before?
