Beginner Jiu-Jitsu Classes in Heath, OH
BJJ Fundamentals is the best first class for adults: Tuesday night, one hour, and the core positions of jiu-jitsu taught slowly enough to actually learn them.
Fundamentals covers the positions that every jiu-jitsu match and every self-defense situation comes back to: mount, side control, guard and the back. You learn how to get there, how to hold it, and most importantly how to escape when you're stuck underneath.
The pace is slower than the regular classes and there's more time for questions. If you're worried about being out of shape or getting hurt, this is the class that answers both. You'll move and you'll sweat, and nothing happens that you don't control.
Once Tuesday feels comfortable, add Monday and Wednesday gi classes or Thursday no-gi. Keep coming to Fundamentals for as long as it helps. There's no graduation, and the basics never stop mattering.
