Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu FAQs:
Do I need to be in shape before starting?
Not at all. BJJ builds fitness as you learn. Our classes accommodate all fitness levels, and you'll be amazed how quickly your conditioning improves.
What should I wear to my first class?
Athletic shorts and a t-shirt work perfectly. We provide a loaner Gi for trial classes. Once you commit, you'll need your own gi or rashguard and spats for no-gi training.
How often should I train as a beginner?
We recommend 2-3 classes per week. This frequency balances steady progress with adequate recovery time.
Is BJJ effective for self-defense?
Absolutely. BJJ specializes in ground fighting, where most real altercations end up. You'll learn to control aggressive opponents and protect yourself using technique rather than size or strength.
How long until I get my blue belt?
Most students achieve blue belt in 1-2 years with consistent training, 3-4 times a week. The journey matters more than the destination—focus on daily improvement and the belts will come.
Can my child train at Range BJJ NYC?
Yes! We offer dedicated youth programs starting at age 5. Our kids' classes teach self-defense, discipline, and confidence in age-appropriate, game-based formats.
Do you offer women’s BJJ classes?
Yes, we do. We welcome women in all our classes and have a thriving community of women. Contact us about women-specific training times and programs.
What if I've never done any martial arts before?
Most of our students started with zero experience. Our beginner program is designed specifically for complete newcomers.
