No, we only offer unlimited memberships. We have chosen to encourage our members to train as much as possible. Jiu-jitsu is a complex sport where training extensively is the only secret to improvement. If that doesn’t work for you, there is the option to pay per class or get a 10-class card.

You can easily cancel by sending us an email. Our monthly memberships have a 1-month notice period and there are no additional costs associated with cancellation. For yearly memberships, you can cancel monthly after the first year.

When you start, there is no pressure for you to spar. We want you to first understand the fundamental concepts and positions of BJJ before applying them in practice.

When you and the coaches feel that you are ready to spar, we will gradually introduce sparring rounds into your training sessions.

Our mission is to provide a safe environment for anyone who wants to learn jiu-jitsu. It doesn’t matter if you have any prior experience in martial arts, many of our members had no martial arts experience when they started.

For people without any grappling experience, we have created our introductory course.

The best way to get fit for jiu-jitsu is by training jiu-jitsu. We tailor our lessons to your experience level and fitness level. This way, we build your fitness while you learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

There’s no substitute for it, not running or weightlifting. Don’t worry about getting fit before you start. By starting, you will get fit.

Certainly. Our athletes compete at the highest level. Our competition fighters are among the world’s best and have earned several major titles (including European and Brazilian champions). As a team, we consistently rank at the top of the SmoothComp rankings as the best team in the Netherlands.

We recommend everyone to visit different schools to see where you feel most comfortable.

What we offer is an environment where everyone is welcome, where hard work is valued regardless of experience and fitness level, and where every training session is focused on improvement.

However, our focus is on grappling and BJJ. If you want to build a strong grappling foundation for MMA or complement your MMA training with high-level grappling, you are welcome to join us.
