10-Day Free Trial at Any CTC!
Most BJJ schools limit new students to one free trial class. We offer new students a 10-day risk-free trial that includes unlimited access to all of our beginner group classes. We’re confident that the curriculum, the camaraderie, and quality of the instruction will exceed all your expectations. If that’s not the case, just let us know, and we will never charge you a penny.

All of our beginner group classes are ALWAYS open enrollment. Beginner level classes focus on the most essential movements to begin mastery. We use a rotating curriculum that allows kids and adults to jump right in with no experience necessary and at anytime. Once a student has mastered the techniques in the beginner level classes, kids move into the Black Belt Club and Adults move into the Master Cycle®. To take advantage of our 10-day free trial, simply contact the Certified Training Center nearest you!

Uniforms

During your 10-day free trial, wear whatever you are comfortable wearing. We only ask that it be clean and not have any buttons or zippers that could catch and hurt a training partner or damage the mats.

Once your 10-day free trial is over, you will need a white Gracie or Alavanca gi. We have the Gracie Classics in our store or we can order any other style from the Gracie University website.

Please bring your entire gi to class and wear a rash guard or T shirt underneath your gi. If you get too hot feel free to take off the gi jacket. We ask you to bring the entire gi because some of the techniques that we teach require a uniform to perform rather than stretching out a T-shirt or exposing the back.

Be sure to wash your gi after each class and keep it clean from dirt and pet hair.

Belts must be worn to each class attended.

PARENTS: One of our 6 Character Traits we work on is Responsibility. Making you child responsible for wearing the pants, jacket, and belt is an amazing way to help instill responsibility in your child. If your child is having a hard time remembering their gi or if they don’t like wearing it, then let us know. We can use these topics for our group discussion to help them understand why we wear a uniform and why it is important to bring and care for it. Remember, we are on your side and we work on “Push” teaching, instead of “Pull” teaching. Click the link to learn about “Push” Vs “Pull” Teaching

Learn to Tie Your Belt

One of the most important and neglected parts of martial arts is the proper way to tie the belt. We all work day in and day out on the techniques, but the simple skills of tying your belt has been an elusive part of many students arsenal. Rener does an amazing job of teaching a few different ways to tie the belt.

Hygiene

We use KenClean Plus to clean our mats at the end of everyday to prevent any unwanted skin bacteria or fungus. Our instructors also make sure to wear a clean uniform each day to class and shower after classes each day.

We ask that each of our students do their part in keeping our school clean. Make sure your clean when coming to class. Kids, if you have been outside running around barefoot, take a minute and clean your feet and legs. Adults, if you have been working in the yard or on mechanical products, take a minute and wash up.

Please be sure to wash your gi after each class and be sure to take a bath or shower after classes. Key areas to focus on cleaning with soap are around the neck and face, wrists and forearms, and ankles and lower legs. Of course, everywhere should be cleaned, but pay special attention to these area because they come in contact with the mats most frequently.

If you have warts, ringworm, or any other contagious skin condition you will not be allowed to attend classes until it has been resolved and we can see it is gone. If you are unsure if you have it, please ask our instructor to have a look or see a physician.

Our standard is to have a safe, clean training environment and when we all do our part it’s easy and we can focus on our Jiu Jitsu journey

Billing

Debit/Credit Card

We at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Clinton use Square to auto-bill monthly on the first of every month. We have a variety of different options for training to fit your schedule and finances.

If you start your 10-day free trial and it’s not the end of the month, we will pro-rate the first month! We want to make your life more about focusing on the bad guy indicators and less about everyday stresses.

Cash/Check/Other

Don’t want to be auto-billed every month? We are happy to take cash, check, or other forms of payment.

Because of the online access that is part of the tuition, we require two months tuition, the current month plus the next months tuition. Like we said under the Debt/Credit Card section, we want to make your life more about focusing on the bad guy indicators and less about everyday stresses.

Discounts

We offer discounts.

Family Discounts: 2nd 25% off, 3rd+ 50% off
Military/Police/Fire: 10% Discount

Goals

One of our goals here at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Clinton is to make it affordable for a family of 4 to all train Jiu Jitsu 2 classes per week for $330.

Our family discount helps us achieve that goal. We know that training at least twice per week helps learning and retention of material. When combined with at-home study thru the online access, we have seen students learn, apply, and chain techniques together at an amazing rate!
