Frequency Martial Arts has been offering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes for children as young as FIVE in addition to adults since 2015.  Many of the new teammates that come to our academy are worried that they have never trained BJJ or martial arts before.  That’s not an issue as everyone that trains on the mats has been the NEW student and they are all here to help you improve.  Simply take it one class at a time.

What Are You Looking For?

Are the classes for you or your child?

• If they are for your child, have they been bullied?
• Do you want to learn a new skill?
• Are you looking to improve your heath, fitness and mental wellbeing?

The teammates on the mats all have their own reasons as to why they train, but one reason that they all share is that through their own training, they are helping their teammates work towards their goals.

Find The Right School For YOU!

Is Frequency Martial Arts the right fit for you and your family?  We would hope so, but we encourage everyone to do their own research on the various martial arts programs that are offered in town.  Contact the schools and tour their facilities before you join a club.  Talk to members, other parents and do a Google Search to see reviews of the school as-well-as the instructors at the school.

• How many classes are offered AND how often do they allow you to train?
• Drop in to observe the class structure and get a feel for the atmosphere.
• What qualifications do the coaches and professors have?
• Do they have Policies and Procedures in place?
• What measures are in place for your safety?

If they don’t answer your questions to your satisfaction or make you feel uncomfortable in any way, it would be best to walk away.

Am I Too Old?

This goes back to our first question: What are you looking for?

Once you know why you want to train jiu jitsu, that will help you determine which club is right for you.

To answer your question: No, you’re not too old to train, just make sure you listen to your body and avoid over doing it.  You will be moving your body in unfamiliar ways, you’ll be sore and you’ll improve your conditioning by easing into your training.  Understand your limitations and don’t be tempted to over do it, because you will regret it later.

Medical Conditions?

There is risk of injury doing any form of martial arts.  Be sure to speak with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program.  Once you have been given the green light from your medical professional, simply let the coaching staff know.  Your coach is going to push you to improve during classes.  Make his job easier to help you improve by sharing that information.  The coach will then be able to modify the movements for you.

You’re The Customer

When you find the school that is right for you and your needs, remember that you are still the customer.  Express your concerns with the owner when they come up and be sure to take it one class at a time.  Jiu Jitsu will enrich your life by improving your fitness levels, confidence, concentration, flexibility, self-discipline, socialization and perseverance.  To be successful at Jiu Jitsu, is like anything else:  you need to be dedicated to improving.  Show up to class with an open mind, be optimistic and have the courage to practice the movements.
