Everyone on the mat
This is the room.These are the people in it.

Gi and no-gi, from age five to adults. Warm-up, drilling, then live rolling.

Kids from age five
Your kid will not be the smallest one here.
Back from the Windsor Open
Classes are split by age, not thrown together. Jiu jitsu and karate both run 5 to 7, 8 to 10, and 11 to 14. Your six year old trains with other six year olds.
The ones who want to compete go to tournaments like the Windsor Open and come home with medals. The ones who do not, do not. Both are fine, and nobody here confuses the two.
Who's on the mat
You will not be theonly woman here.
The adults all train in the same class. On the mat, women mostly pair up with each other, so your first roll is not a stranger twice your size. Some weekends and holidays there is a women's only open mat, though it moves around and there is no fixed schedule for it.

Knowledgeable instructors, along with a very welcoming group. If you're in the area and interested at all take the time to come in and try a class.
Great place, great group, great instruction! I've enjoyed kickboxing, no-gi jiu-jitsu, gi jiu jitsu, and women's self defense here.
Great teachers can't ask for more. Kids love it and parents love it.
Sensei Chad is excellent with the children, enforcing discipline and self control while maintaining a fun atmosphere.
Very fun yet very disciplined. They treat you like family.
Great atmosphere at this gym, thanks for the hospitality. Will definitely make it back to train.
My son has been going here for almost a year specifically to improve his gross motor skills. Sensei Chad works very well with children.
My grandson has been in this program since he was 4 years old. He is now 7 years old.
Your first night
Nobody is going tothrow you in.
What to expect in your first class
- Park on Pearl and walk in. The door is the one with the crest on it. Come a few minutes early on your first night so you are not walking in mid warm-up.
- Shoes off at the bench. There is a bench by the door and that is what it is for. Nobody wears shoes on the mat, ever. That is most of the etiquette right there.
- Say it is your first night. Tell whoever is standing there. It will be one of the coaches. You do not need to know what to ask for.
- Train. You will be put with someone who knows what they are doing. Jiu jitsu classes warm up, drill, then roll at the end. Karate works close in. Either way, somebody shows you before anybody expects anything.
- Come back. The first two classes are free, so there is nothing to decide on night one. Most people know by the second night.
How old do kids have to be?
Five. Jiu jitsu and karate both run 5 to 7, 8 to 10, and 11 to 14. Your six year old trains with other six year olds, not with teenagers.
Do I need a gi?
For jiu jitsu, yes, in white, black or blue. Not on your first night though. Come and try it first, and ask the team about a gi once you know you are staying.
Is it just men?
No. The adult evening classes are full of women, two of the three coaches are women, and some weekends and holidays there is a women's only open mat.
What if I have never done any of this?
Then you are normal. Beginners are the whole point of a school. Nobody here is going to test you on day one.
What does it cost?
The first two classes are free. After that it depends on who is training and how often, so the team will tell you straight when you ask. There is no sign-up fee and no contract to read.
Where are you, and when are you open?
47 Pearl St East, Kingsville. Monday to Friday, five until nine. Saturday is the competition team only. It is an evening school: nothing happens here at eleven in the morning.
First two classes, free
Come in for two classes.Decide after.
No sign-up fee, no contract to read, nothing to cancel. Train and see whether the room suits you. Most people know by the second night.
This is the room, behind these words. Shoes come off at the bench by the door. That is the whole ritual.
