Beginners · Temecula & Murrieta

Never Trained?Start the Right Way.

Walking into a packed jiu jitsu class as the new person is intimidating, and it's why a lot of people never start. Private, one on one coaching skips all of that. Just you and me, at your pace, learning the real thing without an audience.

First session is $60, risk-free. If it's not worth your time, you don't pay.

Who this is for

This is built
for square one.

Never trained

You want to start, but figuring it out in a crowd as the only new person is a hard no. We build the base privately first.

Tried it, felt lost

You went to one group class, had no idea what was happening, and didn't go back. This time it's explained, slowly.

Want to understand first

You'd rather actually know what's going on before you ever step into a regular class. That's the smart order.

Nervous about walking in

The whole idea makes you anxious. One on one, no audience, no pressure, until the gym stops feeling scary.

Your first hour

What actually
happens.

No sink or swim. Here's the shape of a first beginner session, start to finish.

01

We talk first

Two minutes on what you want out of this: self-defense, fitness, a hobby, or a path to competing. Everything after is built around that.

02

Move, then position

Basic movement and posture, then two or three positions you'll actually use. Small wins you can feel by the end of the hour.

03

Reps at your pace

We drill slow and clean. You keep control the entire time. I fix the little things a big class never has time to catch.

04

You leave with a plan

A clear next step and a short video of your key reps on your phone, so you remember exactly what we did.

★★★★★

I wanted to try jiu jitsu for years but walking into a full class terrified me. Two private sessions in and I actually understood what was happening. By the time I joined a group class I wasn't the lost guy in the corner anymore.

★★★★★

I came in mostly for the self defense side and got exactly that. No medals talk, no filler, just what to actually do if things go bad. I walk around a lot more relaxed now.

Before you book

Fair questions,
straight answers.

I've never done any martial art. Will I be okay?
Yes, and that's most of my first-timers. Session one is movement, posture and two or three basic positions. Nobody is trying to submit you, and you will not be thrown into a live round on day one unless you ask for it.
Do I need a gi or any gear?
No. Shorts and a rash guard or a plain t-shirt is fine to start. If we go the gi route later I'll tell you exactly what to buy and where. You don't need to spend $200 to find out if you like this.
How fit do I need to be?
Fit enough to walk around. Jiu jitsu is where a lot of people get in shape, not something you get in shape for first. We work at your pace and the technique does the heavy lifting, not your cardio.
Will I get hurt?
Private, one on one, with no stranger cranking on you is about the safest way to start. We move slow, you're in control the whole time, and I'm watching every rep.
Can I still join a group class later?
That's the whole idea. A few privates first and you walk into a group class knowing what's happening instead of being the lost person in the corner. I'll tell you when you're ready.
