Cincinnati BJJ – Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes

At Limitless BJJ, our Cincinnati Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes all follow a similar structure in layout.

To begin, we line up in front of the instructor, bow in, and do a light five minute jog around the mats. Afterward, we do a more formal warm-up for roughly 10-15 minutes. Additionally, this warm-up will include bear crawls, crab walks, cartwheels, shrimps, and a variety of other movements.

Once our warm-up has officially concluded, we will gather in the main area of the mats and the instructor will begin teaching technique.

At this point, we dedicate a large portion of each class to teaching and drilling techniques with a partner. As a result, everyone gets consistent hands-on practice that helps build confidence and skill.

In general, the technique portion of class will be the longest duration of the class’ segments.

Then, for the later part of class, we spend ~30 minutes sparring. Meanwhile, new people are invited to watch the more experienced members spar for their first time. Eventually, as their experience grows, they can join in and begin rolling themselves.

(Note you must be a 2 stripe white belt or have 6 month of formal BJJ experience to be able to freely roll/spar.)

Please note that we do not follow a strict Gi policy at the gym.

If you are unfamiliar with what a Gi is,

A Gi is the traditional uniform Jiu-Jitsu is taught in.

Moreover, GI colors must be white, blue or black only for all white & blue belts.

Furthermore, the only requirements for your Gi are for it to be clean and to be in usable condition (no major tears or holes). In addition, patches from other academies on your GI are allowed.
