Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes.
Do I need to be fit for this?
There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.
Our students start at all different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by doing our BJJ classes at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Tameside.
I have no experience, what do I do?
Just show up! Every beginner class is taught with no previous experience necessary, so you will not feel left behind.
Our program is structured by class number (23 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You can even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start!
I’m not very sporty or co-ordinated. Will that be a problem?
Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes may have described themselves like that before they started. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes. You will fit right in!
Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at what your body is capable of, and how much you can improve! Our certified martial arts instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple, effective, and beginner-focused. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop these skills! Come see for yourself!

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for women?
Absolutely! Specifically because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has proven reliable in defending against larger opponents for nearly a century, it is the perfect martial art for women.
Many women train in our
Women Empowered® program and then transfer into our mixed adult Gracie Combatives classes. However, both programs are suitable for female beginners.
We love seeing the physical confidence develop in our female students as they gain self-defence skills on the mat!
What do I need to bring to my first martial arts lesson?
For your first class we recommend wearing shorts or joggers, and a t-shirt. If you decide to continue training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with us you will need a white BJJ Gi. We don't force anyone to wear the official Gracie Gear but appreciate it when you do!
