Fitness and conditioning are developed gradually through the program and are never expected on day one. This program is designed for adults starting from zero or returning after a long break, with a focus on building strength, mobility, and confidence safely and progressively. You should be able to get up and down from the floor at a controlled pace and participate in light physical activity. No athletic background, flexibility, or prior sports experience is required.

A gi is recommended but not required. You may train without one at first and decide later if you’d like to purchase a gi. You’re welcome to bring your own or buy one through us (recommended model available).

Mini sparring and resistance drills are optional. When included, they are light, controlled, and always adapted to the comfort and experience level of both partners.
