I'm a complete beginner, can I still come try it out?
100%. The Monday and Thursday classes at 6:30pm are tailored to absolute beginners and will be focused on learning and drilling the fundamental movements of Jiu Jitsu at a beginner friendly pace. There is no experience needed to jump into these classes.
