Curious what a Jiu Jitsu Class is like?

Here Are Our Most Common Questions:

Can anyone Train Jiu Jitsu?2024-09-27T19:05:27+00:00

Yes. Jiu Jitsu is a martial art based on using leverage, which allows the weaker and lighter individual to beat the stronger and heavier opponent. For this reason Jiu Jitsu is recommended for everyone regardless of your physical condition, age or size.

I’m out of shape and want to lose weight, is this possible in Jiu Jitsu?2024-09-27T19:05:58+00:00

Training Jiu Jitsu will help improve your physical condition in a fun and dynamic way. While performing the techniques you use your entire body while gaining flexibility and strength as well as burning calories and losing weight.

What are the risks of injury in Jiu Jitsu?2024-09-27T19:06:35+00:00

Safety is imperative at our gym, however accidents can happen like in any other activity. In Jiu Jitsu injuries are usually self inflicted due to the individual performing a technique incorrectly, but our instructors pay close attention and with each repetition the risk declines making Jiu Jitsu an extremely safe sport.

How long does it take for me to receive belts in Jiu Jitsu2024-09-27T19:07:07+00:00

Jiu Jitsu has 2 grading methods depending on the age of the student. Up to 15 years old the student receives the belts white, yellow, orange and green. From 16 and onwards the belts are colored blue, purple, brown and black. At our academy we have a defined grading system where you prepare yourself for your belt exam with a determined amount of completed classes which varies from belt to belt.

How does a typical jiu jitsu class work?2024-09-27T19:07:46+00:00

The class begins with a warm up which also serves as physical conditioning varying every day among stretching, strength training, mobility, etc. After warming up comes the technical training with repetitions of self-defense, control positions, joint locks and choke movements to name a few of the many Jiu Jitsu techniques taught. And finally we have the free training more commonly known as “rolling”.

10 Reasons To Join

1.) Jiu-Jitsu is a truly exciting way to get fit!

BJJ is often likened to a game of human chess. If you don’t like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you’re not alone. Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, and they couldn’t find new songs or audio books to entertain them on the treadmill. They found Jiu-Jitsu to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost. What’s more, you’ll still learn to defend yourself. It’s a win-win situation.

Professor Rodrigo is an amazing instructor! He creates an amazing culture at his academy. Amazing kids program!

Dave,

I dropped in Six Blades while on vacation and learned a lot in a couple fundamental classes. The owner and instructors were very friendly and welcoming, and instruction was very thorough and detailed. As others have said, a family friendly environment and everyone made us (white belts) feel extremely welcome. My 9 year old son did the class, and was begging to go back again after initially being afraid of a new gym. 100% worth it!

Derek,

This is by far the best school I’ve been. Great instruction, separate by level, so each one of us could have a wonderful experience. I never imagined Jiu Jitsu would be so fun and safe. I’m telling all my friends to come by!

Richard,

WOW! What an amazing experience at this Six Blades school. I came because of the reputation and experience of the head instructor but what really made me signed up was the love and passion coming from the whole staff and their professionalism and incredible methodology provided. I strongly recommend this school for guys like me, mid-age, not in such a good shape and afraid to great hurt. Jiu Jitsu is so fun and safe! Can’t wait for my next class!

Bento,

The place is state of the art and the professor is a encyclopedia of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It’s a perfect combination if you want to learn martial arts and live close by. I’ve known Prof Rodrigo for more than 25 years and can attest that his passion for Jiu Jitsu is second to none and add to his enthusiasm for sharing this knowledge makes Six Blades Littleton the best source for BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU in the region. If you are thinking about learning martial arts, do yourself a favor and give professor Rodrigo a call…You won’t regret it!

Nei,

A life changing experience for my kids! What they have been learning is far beyond BJJ techniques. Respect, discipline, self confidence and a lot more. Amazing instructors, family friendly environment.
