FAQs
Q: How do I ask for clarification on a movement?
If you are having trouble with a movement and your partner can't help you, you can ask for clarification from the instructor. We always defer questions to the person with the highest ranking belt in the room at the time. It is considered bad form to offer instruction or advice with an upper belt in the room. If a student wishes to show a technique, ask the highest ranking member in the room if you may show a specific technique. That being said, when we are partnered up working on techniques, it is ok to ask questions to your partner about the technique. If you still can't figure out the technique, ask the instructor or highest ranking belt in the room.
Q: Is it a good fit for children/women?
Yes, Jiu Jitsu is great for women and children. The principles of Jiu Jitsu are based on technique and leverage, not on strength and speed. As you get better with the techniques, you can use them against bigger and stronger opponents.
Q: General hygiene concerns?
Due to the intimate nature of Jiu Jitsu, good hygiene is critical. If your uniform is not clean, you will be asked to leave. Also, a person should maintain good personal hygiene.
Q: How does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu compare to 10th planet Jiu Jitsu and Gracie Jiu Jitsu?
They are all forms of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The Gracie family and their affiliates are the only ones that can use the term Gracie Jiu Jitsu. 10th Planet is a system developed by Eddie Bravo. Eddie is a brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt.
Q: What moves are illegal/legal'?
Illegal moves during sparring include neck cranks, single joint manipulation, slams and heel hooks. As students get more experienced, we will let them incorporate more advanced foot attacks.
