Each class begins with a simple warm up. Then your coach will lead the class through the technique portion of the day. Technique is done slow, and controlled so even when your brand new you get a chance to practice. After technique sometimes we play a "mini game" based on the technique and position of the day and then we line up, thank our training partners and that ends the class. There won't be any live sparring or rolling on your first day to keep you safe.
At Americana Jiu Jitsu Collective we aren't an ego based competitive gym. We want our students to learn martial arts in a place where they feel comfortable and safe.
No! This is a massive misconception in martial arts. The only thing that's going to get you fit is to start training and practicing regularly. You can go at a pace that works for you and build your fitness up over time.
The order of belt ranking in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is: White, Blue, Purple, Brown and Black.
Everyone starts as a white belt, no matter their age, physical condition, or previous martial arts experience.
As you make progress in you knowledge, skills, and abilities you will be recognized by stripes on your belt and eventually a new belt level.
Getting good at Jiu Jitsu specifcally takes time and practice the secrets to advancing in rank are to show up consistently, enjoy learning, and love the process of training.
The vast majority of students will train with us 2-3 times per week. As you are just starting out and everything is brand new 2 classes a week might be perfect for you.
Once you've got the hang of the basics you may decide to bump up to 3 or 4 classes per week.
So much of this depends on the individual who is training but for a broad statement 2-3 times per week is what you should aim for to see consistent lon term progress.
If you've never done martial arts or Jiu-Jitsu before you'll notice results within the first week or two. Your muscles might be a little sore but that will greatly reduce and you'll find yourself not getting tired as easily and your body bouncing back faster after class. You'll increase strength, flexibility and stamina and you will notice these changes very quickly with consistent training.
