Got questions? We've got answers.

Absolutely not. Most of our members walked in with zero martial arts experience. Our coaches are experts at working with complete beginners — you'll learn proper technique from day one in a safe, supportive environment. Just show up, and we'll handle the rest.

For your first class, wear comfortable athletic clothing — shorts/leggings and a t-shirt or rash guard. No zippers, buttons, or pockets (they can cause injury on the mats). If you're trying a Gi BJJ class, we'll lend you a Gi for your trial. Bring a water bottle and a towel. No shoes needed on the mats!

We have classes for every age group:

Wolf Pups (3–6): Introductory BJJ through play-based learning
Kids (7–13): BJJ, Kickboxing, MMA, and Wrestling
Teens (14–17): BJJ, Kickboxing, and MMA
Adults (18+): BJJ, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, MMA, and Wrestling

Check our class schedule for specific times.

Book your free trial online — pick the program you're interested in and choose a class time that works for you. Arrive about 10 minutes early so we can give you a quick tour and introduce you to the coach. No payment info required, no strings attached. It's just a class.

Most adult classes run 60–75 minutes. Kids and teens classes are 45 minutes. Wolf Pups sessions are 30 minutes — just right for their attention spans. Each class includes a warm-up, technique instruction, drilling, and live practice or sparring (optional for beginners).

For beginners, we recommend 2–3 times per week to start. This gives your body time to adapt while building consistent skills. Many of our committed members train 4–6 days a week. The key is consistency — three classes a week beats one intense session any day.

Yes! We have active competition teams in BJJ and MMA. Our coaches will help you prepare for tournaments with specialized drilling, extra mat time, and competition strategy. But competition is 100% optional — most of our members train for fitness, self-defense, and the love of the sport.

No. Sparring is always optional, especially for beginners. You'll never be thrown into a situation you're not ready for. Our coaches will let you know when you're ready, and you'll always be partnered with experienced training partners who know how to work safely with newer students.

We offer several membership tiers depending on how many classes you want to take and which programs you're interested in. The best way to get pricing is to book a free trial — after your class, we'll walk you through the options and find a plan that fits your budget and goals. No high-pressure sales, ever.

Yes! We offer family rates for households with multiple members training. Many families train together at Apex Jiu Jitsu & MMA — it's one of the best things about our community. Contact us for details on family pricing.

Yes, we have a large free parking lot right in front of the academy. You'll never have trouble finding a spot.

Yes, we have changing rooms for your convenience. Come straight from work? No problem — you can change and be ready to train in minutes.
