What makes this different
Catskills students often want a clean, organized space without loud gym energy. We focus on clear coaching, safe training, and a calm room culture.
- Beginner Lane: a structured on-ramp that keeps day one safe and predictable.
- Clean mats: clear hygiene rules and a respectful room culture.
- No striking: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is grappling only - control, escapes, submissions.
- Reschedule by text: easy adjustments if weather or work changes.
First visit: what to expect
Your Free Intro starts with a quick tour and safety walkthrough. We explain tapping, boundaries, and Beginner Lane pacing before you join class. Most beginners are surprised by how calm and clear it feels. You will never be pushed into hard sparring on day one. You can watch first, then step in when you feel ready. If you need to pause or reschedule, just text.
