Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling based martial art and combat sport, focusing on the control and submission of your opponent. Here at Milltown we teach beginners how to safely build skill, fitness and confidence - whether you're training for self, defence or competition, we've got you covered!

Absolutely not! We welcome complete beginners! We also run 2/3 beginners courses each year to get you a jump start on your Jiu-Jitsu journey! Keep an eye on our socials for updates

All you need is:

1) shorts/leggings and a t-shirt (we have plenty of Gi's to borrow for your first few weeks if attending the gi class)

2) yourself!

Not at all! BJJ is great exercise will increase your fitness and flexibility over time

The only difference between the two is the clothes you wear. In the Gi classes you wear a 'Gi' (uniform) the Gi increases the grips you can make and generally is a bit 'slower'

NoGi you wear shorts and t-shirt or a 'rashguard' it is generally more fast paced due to the lack of grips. Both are great options! (we recommend training both!)

2-3 times a week is a perfect place to start

Warm-up → Technique → Drilling → (optional) live sparring.
