Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to be fit to get started?

No. Start training, fall in love with Jiujitsu as we have and then you’ll be surprised as fitness begins to occur almost without notice! You get fit for Jiujitsu from training Jiujitsu!

In much the same way as you need to cycle to get fit for cycling, so it is for BJJ.

Do you have any lock-in contracts?

No. Message us if you’re travelling, injury or illness or general life stuff! Cancelling and suspending is no drama though preferably not for less than a fortnight.

How many times a week do I have to train?

You may train as often or little as you like! There is only one membership fee however, so the more you train, the more cost effective per class!

Like anything in life, the more frequently you train the faster your skills will improve over time.

Can I train with my children?

Yes! In fact we have a few Jiujitsu families at TMA and it is thoroughly encouraged for parents to embrace learning how to teach their own children the Art suave!

Kids love nothing more than wrestling with each other and their parents. Come learn a disciplined set of rules and safety guidelines and let the fun times roll!
