What should I wear for my first class?
Simply wear comfortable gym clothing such as leggings, shorts, and a t-shirt. You don’t need to purchase any equipment before your first session.
What happens during my free introductory class?
Your free intro session includes a warm welcome, a tour of the academy, a beginner-friendly introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, simple techniques, and plenty of guidance from our coaching team. There’s no pressure, no expectation to perform, and no previous experience required
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu suitable for all ages?
Yes. Our women’s classes welcome adults of all ages. Whether you’re in your twenties, forties, fifties, or beyond, you can train at your own pace and enjoy the physical and mental benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Valour Jiu Jitsu HQ.
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu good for self-defence?
Yes. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the world’s most effective self-defence martial arts. Rather than relying on strength, you’ll learn practical techniques that focus on control, escapes, and defending yourself in real-world situations while remaining calm under pressure.
