Book a class, train for free, meet the team. We'll lend you a Gi. You bring yourself.
We'll text you back within 24 hours to confirm a class time.
Walking into a martial arts academy for the first time can feel intimidating. It shouldn't. Here's exactly how your free trial works at Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Melbourne.
That gives us time to show you around, get you sized into a borrowed Gi, and introduce you to the coach and a few training partners. Free parking is available 2 hours off James St (about a minute's walk).
Every class starts with a structured warm-up: joint mobility, basic BJJ movements, and breathing. No-one is going to expect you to keep up. Move at your own pace.
The coach demos a sequence, usually a position, escape, or submission, broken into small pieces. You'll partner with an experienced student who'll guide you through it slowly. This is the most important part of class.
At the end of class, more experienced students spar: what we call "rolling." For your first class, you don't need to do this. Watch, take notes, or join in if you want to. Your call.
After class, we'll answer any questions, walk you through membership options, and, if you liked it, help you book your next session. There's no hard sell. Lots of people come back. Some don't.

"Walked in as a total beginner and felt welcomed from day one. The coaches take real care of new students — no ego, no pressure, just great training."
"My son has trained here for three years. The kids program is world-class — the discipline and confidence it's built in him is unreal. Could not recommend more."
