Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions
Thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Teknica Martial Arts? Here are the questions we hear most from new students and parents in Pinecrest. If yours is not covered, just reach out and ask.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art built on leverage, control, and submissions rather than size or strength. Training happens on the mat with a partner, working takedowns, positions, and escapes. It is one of the most practical self-defense systems there is, and it doubles as a serious workout.
Yes. You or your child can book a free trial class and train with us before committing to anything. Pick a time that fits your schedule, show up a few minutes early, and one of our coaches will walk you through the class.
None at all. Most people who walk through our doors have never grappled before. Our fundamentals classes are designed for day-one beginners, and our coaches pair you with training partners who know how to keep a first class safe and welcoming.
We start kids as young as three in our Juniors program, then move them into Kids classes at six and Teens at twelve. Each age group trains with peers at a similar size and stage, so the coaching, the drills, and the pace all fit where your child actually is.
The gi is the traditional jacket and pants uniform, and grips on the fabric open up a whole layer of technique. No-gi is trained in shorts and a rash guard, so the pace is faster and the grips come from the body itself. We teach both, and training the two together makes you a more complete grappler.
For a first class, athletic shorts without pockets or zippers and a fitted t-shirt or rash guard are all you need. Bring water and come with clean, trimmed nails and bare feet on the mat. If you decide to keep training, we will point you to the right gi.
Teknica is a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy, not a mixed program that treats BJJ as a side class. It is run day to day by its two owners, both black belts and active competitors, and the same coaches who teach the adult classes teach the kids. That focus is why our students progress the way they do.
