Adult BJJ
Adults of every experience level are welcome. Starting from zero is normal here.
You do not need to be athletic, young, or experienced to start. Most of our adults came in never having trained.

Who it's for
Adults starting from zero, and adults who have trained for years.
The majority of adults who walk into Riverbend have never trained in anything. They are not athletes. They are people who decided they wanted to try something and showed up. That is the only qualification you need.
You do not need to be in shape. Jiu jitsu will get you moving, but you do not need to be fit to start. People come in after years at a desk. You modify, you work at your level, and your body changes over time because you are moving.
Our adult class has people from every walk of life. First responders, parents, office workers, retirees. On the mats, everyone is just a person learning and working.
What to expect
What your first class looks like.
You show up in comfortable clothes. You do not need a gi. We warm up, work a technique, and you drill it with a partner at your pace. No one expects you to know anything.
The first class will feel like a lot of information. That is normal. Give it three or four classes before you decide. Most people who do are glad they stayed.
We are at 35 E Jackson St in Front Royal, upstairs inside BattleGrounds Fitness. The entrance is upstairs, so come to the door and head up.
