What can I expect in my first class?

  You will be greeted by our front desk staff and they will show you to the locker room and to the training area where you will meet with Chris and the rest of the team.  Your first several classes will be private lessons with Chris or other teammates with years of experience.  You will then be taught our fundamental techniques that we practice every day.  Once you become efficient with these techniques, you will be merged into the regular core class.

Will I have to sign a long term contract, pay initiation fees or pay for belts?

At Chris Howe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we don't trap you into long term contracts. We do, however, offer many options for membership.  With that, you will never have initiation fees and you will also never pay for belts or for belt testing. You earned them.  We will supply them.

Since Chris is a black belt master world champion, will I be expected to compete?

Absolutely not! Even though Chris has won black belt championships around the world, his true passion is bringing the art to the public for their well-being. You do get to train with him everyday though and see the difference in a world champion and see how he can help you reach your goals.
