Why students stick with it
It's a puzzle.
Every position is a problem with a few good answers. If you like chess, code, or anything you can get better at by thinking, you'll like this.
It's a real workout you won't have to force.
An hour of games with a partner, and you forget you're exercising.
You'll make friends outside your major.
Students, engineers, parents, and locals train side by side. A coach pairs you up on day one.

Questions
I've never done a martial art. Is that a problem?
No. Most people start with zero experience. Classes are built around games, so you're playing from your first class.
Is it just for Mines students?
The student rate is for any college student with a valid student ID.
What if I'm gone for the summer?
Ask us about freezing your membership while you're away.
Is it safe?
Jiu jitsu is a contact sport, and we take that seriously. Coaches manage intensity for new people, and our culture is simple: tap early, play often, no ego.
Try one class. It's free.
Bring a friend from your floor if you want company.
$99 first month applies to new memberships started the same day as your free intro class. Not available to current members. Guarantee requires at least eight classes in your first 30 days of membership (the free intro class doesn't count), with the refund requested within those 30 days; the refund is your first month's payment, and it ends your membership. It covers the first month only: if you paid for a longer term up front, the rest of that payment is not refunded.
