Question 1 of 6
Who are you finding a class for?
Before you book
Questions beginners ask
Which martial art should a complete beginner start with?
If you are curious about close contact, start with jiu-jitsu in the gi: it is slower, technical and built on escapes, so it suits complete beginners. If you would rather keep some distance, boxing or kickboxing on pads is a good first step. The class finder above asks a few questions and suggests one.
Is the first class really free?
Yes. Your first class at Knots & Collar is free, and we lend you a gi if you need one. Wear comfortable workout clothes and bring water.
Can my child and I train at the same time?
Kids BJJ runs Monday to Saturday at 4 PM for 5 and under and 5 PM for 6 and over, and adult classes run mornings, evenings and weekends. The class finder can book a class for you and your child together.
Do I need to sign anything before my first class?
Everyone on the mat signs a short waiver. A parent or guardian signs for a child. You can sign it online in a minute as the last step of booking, or at the desk.
