Questions adults ask before the first class
Can I start jiu-jitsu as an adult with no experience?
Yes. Beginners · All Levels is the backbone of the week at Seeds 13: foundational theory, strategy and technique, with sweeps, escapes and submissions taught safely. No experience is needed. Adult classes start at age 13 and run in the morning, at lunch and in the evening, in both Gi and No-Gi. BJJ for beginners.
What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi classes?
Gi classes train in the traditional jiu-jitsu kimono, blue or white, where grips on the collar and sleeves are part of the game. No-Gi classes train without it, in the academy's own No-Gi uniform, so the grips and the pace change. Seeds 13 runs both through the week, at fundamental and advanced levels. Gi vs No-Gi, explained.
