Most workouts give your body something to do while your mind stays somewhere else.
Jiu Jitsu does not give your mind that option.
You are solving real problems against a partner who is actively working against you. Every class teaches you something. Every session builds on the last. The challenge does not disappear because the skill never stops growing.
The Hour on the Mat Where Nothing Else Follows You In.
Jiu Jitsu is different. You cannot think about your inbox while someone is working to submit you. The training demands your complete attention. Most people describe it as the one hour in their week where they are entirely present.
Most People Walk Out of Their First Class Surprised.
Jiu Jitsu hands you a problem you cannot solve yet and gives you just enough to want to come back and try again.

“Beginners aren’t thrown in to sink or swim like many schools are known to do. An emphasis is put on ensuring new students truly understand the fundamentals.”

Everyone starts exactly where you are.
After college most adults stop making real friends. Not because they do not want to. Because there is no structure that produces them anymore. Several of the closest friendships at 2nd Gear started on the first day of the fundamentals class. That is what happens when adults do hard things together consistently.
Common Questions
Do I need to be in shape first? No. Training is how you get in shape. Students start here at every fitness level.
Do I need to buy a gi before my first class? No. We have loaner gis available. Come in athletic clothes.
How much does membership cost? Membership at 2nd Gear starts at $149 per month. We offer two options. A one-year commitment at the lower rate, and an open membership that can be canceled with 30 days notice. Your first seven days are free so you can try it before you choose either one.
Classes run six days a week. Monday through Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. A fundamentals class specifically for beginners runs weekly and is the recommended starting point for anyone new.

You have been thinking about this long enough.
The only way to know is to walk in once and see.
Your first week is free. That is seven days and as many classes as you want before you decide anything. Most people know by the end of day one.
