Frequently Asked Questions
When you make your way to BVMMA come through one of our two entrances and make your way to the front desk. From there we'll welcome you in, walk you through signing a wavier and introduce you to the coach. The coach will make sure you have a partner to train with and get you on the mats for your first class. At the end of class the front desk will help answer any question that you have and take care of you from there.
You should wear athletic clothing to class. Nothing too loose that could get caught in someone's arms or legs. We recommend you avoid sleeveless shirts, clothing with holes and anything with zippers. This is to keep both you, your partner and the mats safe when training. Also bring a waterbottle, some sandals or flip flops to wear when not on the mats. We have showers available for you to use after class.
If you're an adult, the first day is actually free. Come in, meet the coaches students and see the value you're getting. After that, it depends on how many classes you're taking, which ones you sign up for, how long you're taking them for, and any discounts that might apply to you. We have over 60 classes a week, 6 a.m., noon, evening classes. We have jiu-jitsu, we have kickboxing, we have MMA, we have wrestling, we have fitness programs, everything.
For the children, we have a one-day trial. There is a small cost. It includes the uniform. After that, the same situation applies. How many classes are you taking? How long are you taking them for? We'll tell you the exact price. Expect us to come in, introduce you to everybody, drop you on the mats, and get you in a class, and then the front desk will come afterwards and answer all your questions and give you a specific answer for what you are doing, not for what someone else is doing.
We offer first responder discounts, family discounts, law enforcement discounts, military discounts, student discounts. So depending on who you are and what you're doing, the price will be different. But it ranges from a great value to affordable. I promise. Come in. Check it out.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is recommended because 80% of fights end up on the ground for self-defense purposes, getting away, getting back to your feet, that's the goal. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is grappling. It's close quarters combat. We have introductory classes on Tuesday and Wednesday at 6 p.m. Our fundamental BJJ class is everyday at 6:30pm we'll always make sure you are training at the level you are most comdortable with.
If you love kickboxing, you just want to try the punches and the kicks, that's fine too! Fundamental Kickboxing happens every day of the week, 6am and 5:30pm. It's fun, it's technical, it's a great way to burn calories. For fighting, remember...
In life you dont always get to determine where the fight happens. So we recommend you ultimately end up in both. It's going to be the best way. If you can only make it one day a week at 6 a.m. on a Thursday, that's the time you should start. The best class to start is the one that you can make!
Absolutely NOT! This is a different kind of cardio entirely. Nothing you could do will get you in shape for jiu jitsu besides jiu jitsu. You get it by doing it. So don't wait. Start now! You'll be in shape before you know it.
67 is the age of our oldest black belt. Movemebt is life. Mobility comes from moving and it helps more than it hurts. Everything we do is self-paced. You're in charge. We've never seen anyone who's truly too old to get in here and move.
People who have never trained before is our specialty. We're in a college town so we get new students every week of the year. We have intro classes two days a week, 6 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and intro private lessons for a more focued training environment. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. Get in, get started. Everyone was new when they started!
