Absolutely! Our classes cater to all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.

No experience is needed. Eastside Jiu-Jitsu caters classes to students of all levels. Whether it’s your first night or you’re a seasoned veteran, ESJJ has you covered.

There is no doubt your fitness and strength will improve from training BJJ, but to start training no specific skills or fitness levels are required.

If you are coming to train with a pre-existing injury, please make sure you inform the instructor before the class begins. All classes at Eastside Jiu-Jitsu can be altered and tailored to work around an injury or anything else that may affect your training, but we need to know so we can cater for you.

All you really need for your free trial and first few sessions is comfortable activewear and a bottle of water. There’s no requirement to buy a Gi (traditional jacket and pants) or belt right away because we provide loan Gis for beginners. Once you’ve settled in and wish to continue, you can purchase your own Gi, belt, or any custom gear directly from our academy.

Kids’ classes are for ages 5-11, Teens’ classes are for ages 12-18, and Adult classes are for ages 18 and up. Teens and adults train together.

We have 150 square metres of mat space, spacious male and female changing rooms, 4 showers, and a kids’ play area.
