Do I have to commit to a long term program?
NO, we don’t have programs or contracts. It is important to us and the culture of the gym that people training have made a choice to be there. People on contracts often feel resentful and so don’t make the best training partners. Are we going to push you to overcome your own self doubt or maybe the challenges of life getting in the way of training, YES we are, but not with contracts and commitments just with energy and encouragement. Our terms are simple 30 days cancellation and that’s it.
What if I need to travel or worse become sick and can’t train?
Easy , you can pause your membership without loosing any membership benefits like a price hold once you join. You can pause membership for a month or more up to three months. You are still considered a member and so the price protection you have is preserved. The price you join at will never go up.
Are there any added costs to training as I progress?
NO absolutely not. Your monthly fee covers everything including belt promotions.
Is there a joining fee?
No there is no down payment to join Elite Force BJJ. The only additional cost is a GI, which we will be happy to supply at cost or you can source your own. We will lend you a GI until you have your own.
Am I too old to start BJJ?
NO we have members as old as 72 and as young as 5. In fact one of the owners is 66 and only started training BJJ in his mid fifties. Make no mistake BJJ is going to be challenging. Its not easy and will tax you mentally and physically but the rewards of overall fitness, well being and camaraderie very much outweigh the challenges.
What if I haven’t done martial arts before?
That doesn’t matter all classes are delivered by our chief coach and co owner Alexandre Pimentel. He is one of the countries most experienced BJJ instructors as well as being multi time world champion. His ethos is to deliver a class to the least experience person on the mats.
I’m not too fit right now and a little overweight can I train BJJ?
You are not alone, and the answer is yes. BJJ is an overall great workout and however BJJ gyms that make wild claims about weight loss are to be avoided. The fact is that weight loss is about calories and exercise and BJJ is a wonderful compliment to a weight loss program. Many people are using the quite new Semuglutide family of pharmaceuticals to loose weight. One of the challenges of this path is muscle loss. BJJ is especially good at maintaining this as is relies of a notion called “time under tension” which is now widely regarded as the best way to develop muscle tissue.
