Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a gi in order to try a class for the first time?

​

Nope! If you do not have a gi, you are welcome to train in shorts and a t-shirt until your gi arrives! You can get 10% off an Origin USA gi using code ZCOPE101, but you are welcome to choose any brand, any color. 

​

Do I need a mouthguard and/or wrestling shoes?

​

No. Unless you want to wear them. Tradition is to be barefoot in BJJ, and your teeth are your own responsibility.

​

Are beginners welcome in class?

​

Absolutely. Beginners can be confident that their safety is a top consideration. Beginners do not roll (spar) at the end of class for the first couple weeks, but they are encouraged to remain and observe.

​

Do newcomers spar in the first class?

​

No. First-timers are welcomed to observe the sparring portion from the side. After a couple classes you are invited to join in!
