what to expect from your first class!
Look, we get it. Walking into any martial arts school for the first time can bring some worries. Will you get injured? Will you look silly for not having prior experience? Instead of just telling you it's 'beginner-friendly,' let me show you exactly what happens in your first class.
✅ What to Wear:
Workout clothes (preferably nothing with buttons or zippers)
foot ware that’s easy to take off (no shoes on the mats)
✅ What to Bring:

Still nervous? Good. That means you're about to do something that matters. Every single person in our school felt exactly the same way before their first class. What matters is, they walked through the door anyway.

Meet coach nick
Four years ago, I had a crazy idea: build a jiu jitsu school where people actually wanted to train.
Not because of fancy equipment or huge facilities—we started with some mats on a concrete floor and furniture I built from scrap wood. But because of something different: a place where everyone, from complete beginners to experienced grapplers, could train hard and have fun doing it.
Here's what I believe: Every person who walks through our doors deserves individual attention. I make it a point to learn everyone's name and understand what they're trying to achieve. Whether you're here to manage stress, get in shape, learn self-defense, or just try something new—your goals matter.
My background? I've been fortunate to compete at the highest levels—former King of the Cage MMA World Champion and multiple IBJJF black belt medalist. But honestly, what I'm most proud of is watching someone who was nervous about their first class become confident, strong, and part of our family.
My teaching philosophy is simple: have fun, but work hard. I'll push you to grow, but never beyond what's safe or what you're ready for. This isn't about creating killers—it's about creating confident, capable people who happen to know some pretty effective jiu jitsu.
