Clarity Backed by Expertise.

  • Not at all. Heirloom BJJ welcomes complete beginners. Our beginner curriculum is specifically designed to introduce the fundamental positions, techniques, concepts, and skills needed to build a strong foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

  • No. You don't need to get in shape before starting Jiu-Jitsu. Your fitness will develop naturally as you train. Come as you are, and we'll help you build from there.

  • It's never too late to learn. People begin Jiu-Jitsu at many different ages and fitness levels. Training can be adapted to the individual, and our goal is to help every student progress safely and consistently.

  • That's completely normal. Walking into a new martial arts academy can be intimidating, especially if you've never trained before. Our instructors and students are here to help you feel welcome, comfortable, and confident as you learn the ropes.

Classes & Training

  • Yes. Our curriculum is designed with beginners in mind and provides a clear progression through the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

  • Your first class will introduce you to the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a structured and welcoming environment. You'll learn basic movements and techniques, practice with a partner, and get a feel for what Jiu-Jitsu training is all about.

  • No. We don't believe you need to be thrown into live sparring before you're ready. Students develop fundamental skills first, and live training can be introduced progressively as they gain experience and confidence.

  • Like any physical activity, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu carries some risk of injury. We emphasize proper technique, controlled training, respect for training partners, and progressive skill development to help students train safely.

  • Consistency matters more than trying to do everything at once. Most students benefit from training several times per week, but we'll help you find a schedule that fits your life and allows you to progress sustainably. Most common is twice a week.

  • No. Competition is an option, not a requirement. Some students train for competition, while others train for fitness, self-defense, confidence, personal development, or simply because they love Jiu-Jitsu. Though competition does have its own way of testing your skill and progression that can not be duplicated.
