FAQ

Everything you need before class one

Simple answers for first-timers, parents, and busy adults.

1) How do I start?
Start with a Free Intro. You’ll get a quick tour, a safety walkthrough, and your first class plan so you don’t feel lost. If you’re nervous, that’s normal, this is built for first-timers.
2) Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu “fighting”? Is there striking?
No striking. BJJ is grappling: control, escapes, and submissions using leverage. You learn how to stay safe and manage space, not throw punches.
3) Is this safe for beginners?
Yes. New students start in a Beginner Lane with coached rounds, safer partners, and a pace that prioritizes learning over winning. You can always tap, pause, or ask questions.
4) What should I wear to my first class?
Wear a t-shirt and athletic shorts/leggings (no zippers). Bring water. If you don’t have a gi yet, you can start without one and we’ll tell you the simplest next step.
5) Do I need to be in shape or have experience?
No. Training is how you get in shape. We scale intensity, teach basics step by step, and you’ll never be thrown into chaos on day one.
6) What if I have old injuries or I’m worried about getting hurt?
Tell the coach before class. We’ll modify positions, pair you appropriately, and keep you in controlled training until you feel confident. The goal is consistency and safe reps.
7) How often should I train to see results?
Minimum: 2x/week for steady progress. Fast track: 3x/week for noticeable skill and fitness changes. Consistency beats intensity.
8) Do I have to compete?
No. Competing is optional. Most people train for confidence, fitness, stress relief, and real-world self-defense skills without ever stepping into a tournament.
9) How does pricing work?
We keep it simple: you’ll see the options after your Free Intro so you pick the right fit without guessing. We offer program pricing (youth/adult) and drop-in options, with clear expectations and no surprise add-ons. View options and pricing.
10) How do you handle cleanliness and hygiene?
Clean mats, clean people, clean culture. Mats are cleaned regularly, shoes stay off the mat, nails stay trimmed, and we take skin safety seriously. If something seems off, we address it immediately.
11) Are you looking for "jiu jitsu sandy"?
Yes. People type that when they are looking for Sensei Sandy BJJ in Tannersville, NY. If you want calm, beginner-friendly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Catskills, you are in the right spot.
