Have Questions?We've got the answers right here!

Super simple! Just click get started anywhere here on the page to book your free intro session where you’ll get to tour the gym & meet our coaches.

Each class starts with a small warm up and is followed by some positional work related to the sessions teaching.

Your coach will then show a series of related techniques with time to ask questions and practice each one with your chosen drilling partner. A few “mini game” scenarios to put your new techniques in to live practices leads us to the end of class.

High fives and fist bumps leave you with the option of saying to put your accumulated knowledge to the test during live training/sparring if you feel ready for it (this is the fun part!).

You’ll likely be sore the next day as you’ve moved your body and used your muscles in ways you probably never have. Don’t worry the soreness won’t stick around too long and will get much better with consistent training.

At Tried & True we pride ourselves on being safe and inclusive. We train hard and crush our goals while maintaining a safe and supportive training atmosphere. We have a Male and Female Head Coach, a beautiful facility and the best people as your training parters and teammates.

Not at all! Most of our members start just like you, not only are you learning a new skill, you’re learning how to move your body and workout in a different way. All of this takes time and you’ll quickly see an improvement in your overall fitness, cardio and problem solving after your first month of training consistently.

The order of belt ranking is: White, Blue, Purple, Brown and Black

Everyone starts as a white belt, no matter their age, physical condition or previous martial arts experience. As your knowledge and ability increase from attending classes and putting your knowledge into proactive ‘rolling’ you’ll move through the belt ranks.

Training 3-5 times a week on a consistent basis will earn your Black Belt in about 8 years. Everyone will progress at their own pace and will be promoted accordingly. “All good things take time,” my momma said, and Jiu Jitsu is no exception.

At Tried & True we don’t charge you for belt promotions or testing or make you compete, we follow the IBJJF guidelines for Youth and Adult ranking.

When you’re learning and everything is new we recommend 2-3 sessions a week consistently. This will give you time to adjust your body and brain to Jiu Jitsu. We recommend leaving a day in between sessions to give yourself a chance to recover.

As you get less sore you can bump your training up to increase your knowledge and experience, 4-5 sessions is a nice balanced sweet spot. The only key to success in Jiu Jitsu is mat time! And with mat time comes crushing your fitness goals and working on achieving your next promotion!

When it comes to results at Tried & True it’s a two fold answer – you’ll see an increase in your overall fitness and flexibility in about a month. When it comes to understanding Jiu Jitsu and progressing in your knowledge it will take about 6 months.

We know, that’s a long time, we always say, “Jiu Jitsu has a learning curve like climbing a mountain”. The view is worth it and so is the time you put in building a framework, once it’s done you’ll see improvements regularly and in much shorter intervals.
