Please note:
You do not have to already be in shape to join. Our classes will get you in shape! They are a great cross training workout, and may students find the workout far more interesting than a treadmill or lifting weights.
You do not need previous experience to start. We offer several classes that are only for beginners, as well as all levels classes. Students find our instructors patient and very helpful. We do not choose our teachers only based on just physical ability. They must be patient, good communicators, like teaching, and have in depth knowledge of their art in order to teach at East West.
Do not let fear of getting hurt or embarrassed stop you. We train by the Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu creed, ”Leave your ego at the door.” Our goal is to develop your confidence by learning the basics first, then gradually working your way into sparring. Students do sparring when they are ready and want to spar standing and on the ground. And we have found that students learn better when they are having fun.
