The traditional art, with collar and sleeve grips. Technique, drilling and live rounds in every class.
Ages
Adults and teens 16+
Level
All levels, after four weeks of Fundamentals
What to wear
Gi and belt.
Each week
6 classes a week
Who it's for
Anyone who has finished four weeks of Fundamentals, and visitors who already train. The jacket gives you grips to control your partner, which makes the game slower and more technical. It's where most of our members spend most of their time.
What a class looks like
Warm-up, 10 minutes.
Technique, 25 minutes: two or three connected moves from the week's position.
Drilling, 15 minutes.
Live rounds, 20 to 30 minutes: five-minute rounds, and you choose when to sit one out.
Gi Advanced on Wednesday evening is for blue belts and up. Every other Gi class is open to all levels.
Belts
Coaches promote twice a year, in June and December, based on what they see in class. There are no belt tests and no fees for promotions.
