First-Hand Perspectives: Your First Week

Unscripted Problem Solving

BJJ is 'human chess' in motion. Every roll is a puzzle that requires focus, adaptability, and a cool head under pressure. Instead of mindlessly running on a treadmill, you’ll be engaging your brain and body simultaneously to navigate complex situations. It’s the ultimate way to sharpen your mind while building a body that is as functional as it is strong.

Hear From One of Our Female Beginners

Forget the intimidation factor. Our women’s BJJ community is all about empowering one another through technique, not just brute force. Whether you're looking for self-defense skills or a new way to stay active, you’ll find a mat full of supportive training partners ready to help you grow from day one.

More Fun Than Crossfit?

Ever wonder why people get hooked on 'human chess'? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a workout; it’s a high-energy problem-solving session that builds functional strength and unstoppable confidence.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Not at all. This course is specifically designed for total beginners with zero martial arts background. We start with the absolute fundamentals, and because BJJ is about technique and leverage rather than brute force, you will build your fitness progressively as you move through the six weeks.

  • For the initial sessions of the crash course, all you need is comfortable athletic wear—think shorts and a T-shirt or a rash guard. As you progress through the fundamentals of the curriculum, Head Coach Logan Griffin will guide you on the transition to a traditional Gi (or NoGi) attire.

  • We pride ourselves on an ego-free, supportive community. This crash course is conducted in a "beginner-only" environment, meaning everyone on the mat is learning the same basics at the same time, ensuring a safe and welcoming space for everyone to ask questions and grow.

  • Absolutely not. Our community includes students of all ages, and Logan Griffin’s coaching style emphasizes technical leverage over explosive athleticism. Since this is a beginner-only crash course, the pace is controlled and focused on learning proper mechanics safely.

  • Safety is our number one priority at Bristol Jiu Jitsu. The crash course environment is highly supervised by Logan to ensure all students are practicing techniques with control and mutual respect. We focus on "ego-free" training where the goal is to learn, not to "win" a practice session.

  • Life happens, and we understand that. Because our curriculum is structured, Logan can help you get back up to speed during your next session. Our goal is your long-term success, and we work with our students to ensure they master the fundamentals regardless of a busy schedule.

  • We want you to be sure that our academy is the right fit for you. We often offer a free week or introductory session so you can meet Logan, see the facility, and experience the supportive community firsthand before officially starting your 6-week journey.

  • Our goal is to get you "mat-ready" for our regular academy classes. Once you complete the course, you will have the skills and confidence to seamlessly transition into our standard BJJ program and continue your journey within our community.
