Frequently Asked Questions

You get seven days of unlimited classes at no cost. Try any class on the schedule, as many as you like. Book online or call (740) 504-1367, and arrive ten minutes early for your first class to fill out a waiver and get fitted for a loaner gi.
Do I need experience or to be in shape?
No. Most people start with no experience, and fitness comes from training rather than before it. Tuesday BJJ Fundamentals is the easiest place for a new adult to begin.
What should I wear to my first class?
A rash guard or athletic shirt and shorts without pockets, plus sandals and a water bottle. Loaner gis are available for gi classes.
Will I get hurt?
A tap stops any hold instantly, new students are paired with experienced partners, and a coach watches the room. Injuries can happen in any sport, but you control your pace here.
How old do I have to be for adult classes?
Adult jiu-jitsu is 13 and up. Kickboxing and Muay Thai are 16 and up.
Kids
What age can kids start?
Kids Jiu-Jitsu and Kids Kickboxing are for ages 5 to 13.
Can parents watch?
Yes. There are chairs along the side of the mat and a refurbished kids' play area for siblings.
Can my child and I train together?
Yes. Saturday's 11:00 AM jiu-jitsu class is open to all ages.
Do you have toddler classes?
Not right now. The kids program starts at age 5.
Classes
What's the difference between gi and no-gi?
Gi classes use the traditional jacket and pants, and grips on the fabric are part of the game. No-gi is trained in a rash guard and shorts, so it's faster and relies on grips on the body.
Is there a women's class?
There isn't a separate women's class. Women train in every class, and purple belt Michelle Williams is one of our coaches.
Do you teach judo?
No. Delta focuses on Brazilian jiu-jitsu, plus kickboxing and Muay Thai with the VO2 Fitness Fight Team.
Who can come to open mat?
Sunday open mat is mostly for people with some jiu-jitsu experience, including visitors from other schools. New students are welcome but will get more out of it after a few regular classes.
Do you offer private lessons?
Yes. Every instructor teaches private lessons. Visit an instructor's page to reach them.
Membership
How much does a membership cost?
Pricing depends on the program and who in your family is training, so we go over options in person during your free week. Call or text (740) 504-1367 to talk it through sooner.
Do VO2 Fitness members get a discount?
Yes. VO2 Fitness members can train at Delta at a discounted rate.
Do you sell gear?
We carry a small selection of Delta t-shirts, hats, rash guards and patches at the gym.

Is the Thursday class really free for veterans and first responders?
Yes. Through the Legion Project, Thursday 6:30 PM no-gi is free for veterans, active military, police, fire, EMS and other first responders, member or not. Bring proof of service, like a military, veteran or department ID.
