Your First Day
What to expect at your trial class
Step 1
Arrive a little early
Come in a few minutes before class to meet the coach and get a quick tour. You sign the waiver in the booking form above, so there is no paperwork at the door. The academy is on Coral Way at SW 97th Avenue, with parking on site.
Step 2
Wear athletic clothes
A rashguard or fitted athletic shirt and shorts without pockets or zippers is all you need. Bring water and something to wear off the mat. No gi, no gloves, nothing to buy.
Step 3
Train at your level
Every class is live training. Coaches use a constraints-led approach: each round is a game with a specific goal and rules, so you learn by solving problems against a resisting partner instead of memorizing moves. The constraints are scaled to your experience, so your first day is about learning the room, not surviving it.
Step 4
Ask anything
Beginners are the norm here, not the exception. If you are unsure where to stand, who to partner with, or what a word means, ask. The coaches and the room expect it.

Trial questions
Do I need any experience?
No. Most people who walk in for a trial have never grappled before. The Foundations class exists for exactly that, and every class is coached with beginners in the room.
What if I am out of shape?
You are in the right place. Rounds are scaled to you, you can sit out any time, and fitness comes from training rather than being a requirement for it.
Is the trial really free?
Yes, for Miami-area residents. There is no card on file and no obligation afterward. Visiting from out of town? A day pass gets you on the mat instead.
What happens after the trial?
If you liked it, pick a membership: 4-week, half-year, or annual, with no contracts or sign-up fees. If you are not sure, come talk to a coach or send us a message.
