New to Jiujitsu?
Our number one job is to keep you (and your kiddos) safe.
If you're brand new to martial arts, you are welcome here. Our instructors put incredible focus on proper technique, injury prevention, and foundational skills that will set you up for success.
Our classes cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced, ensuring that everyone benefits from our hands-on attention and innovative programs.
We believe Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing is about more than training self-defense, physical fitness, and discipline. It's about training yourself to lead a confident in life.
FAQ
How do I start?
Just come on in for your first class with no experience necessary. We cater to all levels and will make sure you are taken care of.
Do I need to be in shape?
Nope! Jiujitsu is for everyone. It is a great way to get in shape and start a fitness journey without the gym equipment.
Am I going to get injured?
Safety is our priority. While accidents happen, we do our best to maintain a safe and comfortable training environment for all. Our instructors are hands on and will meet you wherever you are in your Jiu Jitsu journey.
What do I wear?
For your first class come in fitted workout clothes. For women we recommend leggings and a fitted shirt (no spaghetti straps). For gentlemen workout shorts with no pockets (if possible) and an athletic tee. You can get all the gear once you decide if jiujitsu and striking are for you.
How often are the mats cleaned?
At Santa Cruz Jiujitsu, we clean the mats a minimum of twice a day. Clean mats are important to a sanitary and healthy training environment.
How often do I need to come to class?
While the more classes you attend the faster you excel, coming in to train every now and then is better than not coming at all!
