None at all, our classes are beginner friendly and we will not force you to spar live rounds or make you do push ups.

The founder of GrappCademy was 46 years old with two knee surgeries when he started jiu-jitsu.  We see many people train well into their 60's and 70's.

We wear a traditional uniform called a Gi. We have loaners available and some for purchase, but for your first class it is okay to just wear shorts or sweats with no zippers or metal buttons and a t-shirt. (or athletic top)  Trim your toenails and be mindful of hygiene as there are infections that can occur with cuts caused from untrimmed nails.

No, we prefer the term Padawan, until you are ready to be a Jedi.
