FAQ About Starting BJJ in Thibodaux
Everyone has questions before they start bjj in Thibodaux. At Next Generation Martial Arts, we’ve heard them all — and we’re here to answer honestly.
Q: Do I need to be in shape before I start bjj in Thibodaux?
A: Not at all. Most of our students come to Jiu Jitsu to get in shape. You’ll build strength, endurance, and flexibility through training — no matter where you’re starting from.
Q: What if I’ve never done martial arts before?
A: That’s exactly who we’re here for. Most adults who start with us have zero experience. Our beginner-friendly program teaches the basics clearly and patiently.
Q: Will I have to spar or roll on my first day?
A: No. You’ll start with technique and controlled drills. We only introduce sparring once you feel confident and ready — and it’s always optional.
Q: What should I wear to my first class?
A: Just wear comfortable workout clothes (t-shirt and shorts with no zippers). We’ll provide a loaner uniform (gi) if you need one.
Q: Am I too old to start Jiu Jitsu?
A: Not at all. We have students in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. Jiu Jitsu is about strategy and leverage, not athleticism — and we scale it to fit your body and your pace.
Your First Step Toward Earning a BJJ Blue Belt
