Absolutely not. This is the most common myth we hear! Our Adult No-Gi 101 program is designed to get you in shape, not require it beforehand. We use warm-ups and light conditioning specific to BJJ to help you build functional fitness safely. Many of our students in Decatur start with zero athletic background and build their cardio on the mats.
Your safety is our top priority. In the 101/Intro class, there is little to no live sparring, so the intensity remains low. We focus entirely on safe movement, body mechanics, and controlled introduction to submissions. You will not be thrown into the deep end; our goal is to give you a step-by-step path to confidence and success.
Yes! This class is specifically built for total beginners, where zero experience is considered normal. Whether you are looking for a new hobby, self-defense skills, or just a fun way to work out, we teach “from the ground up.” We cover key vocabulary and core positions, so you never feel lost.
