Your First Class
YOUR FIRST CLASS AT CIRCLE ACADEMY
We know that taking the first step can be a bit nerve-wracking, and that's completely normal! We want you to know that everyone on the mat has been exactly where you are now.
What to expect in your first class
Before you start:
- Arrive 10-15 minutes early to introduce yourself and get to know the facilities.
- Bring comfortable athletic clothing (t-shirt and long pants if possible).
- Water bottle.
- Small towel.
- If you have a kimono, great. If not, don't worry, you can rent one.
During the class:
- We'll start with a gentle warm-up.
- We'll teach you the basic fundamentals step by step.
- There's no pressure to "do it perfect": we're here to learn.
- You can take breaks whenever you need.
- Ask anything you want, there are no silly questions.
Things you should NOT worry about
"I'm not in shape." We all start from zero, fitness comes with practice.
"I'm the only new one." There are always new people, and everyone is incredibly welcoming.
"I'm going to look ridiculous." Literally impossible. You're learning.
"I don't know if I can keep up." Each person progresses at their own pace. We respect everyone's process.
Our promise
At Circle Academy we believe that Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts are for everyone. No matter your age, gender, weight, or fitness level. What matters is your willingness to learn and grow.
Our teachers and instructors will look out for you, and your mat partners will support you every step of the way.
"Breathe, relax, and enjoy. BJJ/MMA is a long journey. It's not about being the best, but about being better than yesterday."
