FAQ

Common questions

Do I need any experience to start?
None at all. Most people walk in with zero background. Our adult classes cover the fundamentals, and you can come try us out on a free trial — just show up ready to learn.
Is jiu-jitsu training safe?
Safety is our top priority. All rolling is controlled and supervised, and beginners are never put into live situations before they're ready.
How does the free trial work?
Reach out through our website, email, or phone and try any classes during the trial period — no commitment, no pressure. Just show up and train with us.
What should I wear and bring to my first class?
For a No-Gi class or a trial, wear athletic clothing without zippers — a rashguard and shorts are ideal — and bring water. For the Gi class you'll need a gi; if you don't have one yet, get in touch and we'll help you sort it out for your first session.
Do I need to buy a gi before I start?
No. You can take your first class without one. If you decide to keep training in the Gi, we'll point you toward what you need.
How much does membership cost?
Reach out by phone or email for current membership options — and remember, we offer a free trial so you can try us out first — no commitment. Call (571) 295-4544 or email loyallegionbjj@gmail.com.
