Never trained a day in your life? Good — that's who this is for. Here's exactly what your first month of no-gi jiu-jitsu in Fullerton looks like.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling art: you learn to control and submit a resisting opponent using leverage, not strength or strikes. As a beginner you don't need to be fit, flexible or young — you build all of that by training. At 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Fullerton beginners train the no-gi system in a coached, drop-the-ego environment, and your first class is free.
| Part of class | What happens |
|---|---|
| Warm-up | Light movement — you go at your own pace, no pressure. |
| Technique | A coach walks through one or two positions; you drill them slowly with a partner. |
| Rolling (optional) | Live practice. As a beginner you can sit out, drill, or roll light — your call. |

At 10th Planet Fullerton (a no-gi school), just a rash guard, shorts and a water bottle. There's no gi to buy and nothing else to prepare — show up ready to move.
No. You build fitness and flexibility by training, not before it. Our adult classes include people starting in their 30s, 40s and beyond, and you go at your own pace — you never have to spar before you're ready.
Most beginners feel comfortable surviving and recognizing positions within the first month, and have a few reliable escapes and submissions by around three months of consistent training (2–3 classes a week).
