I train Jiu-Jitsu at another gym and I’m in town visiting. Can I use your free-week trial?

No, the free-week trial is for Seminole, Volusia, and Orange county residents only. If you’re visiting from another part of Florida, another state, or another country we ask for a mat fee. We also ask for identification when signing the waiver.

My child trains here and his/her friend wants to try a few classes, can they come with us next time?

During the free-week trial, the friend’s legal guardian must accompany him/her on their first trip to sign the waiver. After that, your child’s friend can come without their guardian.

When can my child start going to the adult classes?

At his discretion, the head instructor will move a child from the kids’ class to the adult class after the child meets one of the following criteria:

1) The child is physically big enough.

A child may be twelve years old but if he or she weighs 125 pounds—which is as heavy as a small adult—they can attend the adult class. At this point, they are too big for the small kids.

2) The child is old enough.

A child may weigh 115 pounds, but at fifteen years of age they are old enough to participate in the adult martial arts class without being disruptive.

If either condition is met, the head instructor usually approves the transition.

Do you have a family plan?

Yes, we have family plan options.
