Whether you’re completely new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) or coming back after a break, your first month will set the tone for your journey. Here’s what to expect—and why so many people in Toronto are choosing Greenwood Jiu Jitsu.
1. A Friendly and Supportive Environment
One of the most common concerns for beginners is whether they’ll feel out of place. At Greenwood Jiu Jitsu, we take pride in our welcoming community. Our instructors are experienced in working with complete beginners, and our students are respectful, encouraging, and here to train—just like you. You won’t be thrown into the deep end. Every class is structured to meet you where you are, physically and mentally.
2. Structured Beginner Classes
Our beginner Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes in Toronto focus on core concepts: movement, positioning, escapes, and basic submissions. We’ll walk you through the foundations in a clear, step-by-step format. No previous martial arts experience? No problem.
You’ll learn:
- How to fall safely
- How to move efficiently on the ground
- How to apply basic positions like guard, side control, and mount
- How to execute your first submissions and escapes
3. What to Bring and Wear
If you don’t own a gi (Jiu Jitsu uniform), no worries—we have loaner gis available for trial classes and beginners. You should wear athletic clothing that’s comfortable and doesn’t have zippers or buttons. A water bottle, flip-flops for the mat area, and an open mind are all you really need.
4. Building Confidence and Consistency
The first month is about showing up. At Greenwood Jiu Jitsu, we emphasize consistency over perfection. You’re not expected to be amazing on Day 1. Our goal is to help you get comfortable, develop good habits, and begin to understand the rhythm of training.
