FAQ:
1. Will I be able to keep up?
Yes, all of our classes are designed with a progressive development philosophy. You will be grouped with people who will help you grow, not hinder you, and you will be taught techniques that you can handle at your level.
2. Do I have to compete?
Absolutely not; the majority of people train for fun or fitness, not to compete. In our experience, most people will end up competing at least once when they are ready.
3. Do I have to buy gear?
Eventually yes. But until then [such as during your trial], we have gear for you to take class with. Once you decide to buy your own gear, you will find the cost to be a minimal investment.

As a Jiu Jitsu Meriden CT Practitioner, You’ll Relieve Stress
​
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic stress reliever because, due to the physicality of this sport, practitioners release endorphins and other feel-good neurotransmitters. Endorphins are chemicals (hormones) your body releases as a natural pain reliever and stress reducer. Furthermore, they improve your sense of well-being.
​
Everyone needs an outlet to relieve stress. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a wonderful option because it allows practitioners to channel their stress and frustration through exercise in a controlled and safe environment. For this reason, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an excellent tension tamer!
​
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can also reduce stress when off the mat and on to daily life. This is a sport that requires high amounts of focus and concentration. Therefore, individuals must practice mindfulness and focus on what is happening in the moment. This flow state provides a diversion from troubles on the mat, and when practiced enough, this flow state is much easier to access in everyday life.
