ABC BJJ course summary
​​
Starting anything new, especially a Martial Art, can be daunting. Worries about costs, injuries, age and even enjoyment can stop person from trying.
At Ray Stevens Academy our ABC beginners course is designed to take an absolute novice through all that Brazilian Jiu-jitsu encompasses. This is done in an open and fun environment with instructors being available for any questions or concerns you may have.
Over ten weeks our Instructors will guide you through a fundamentals program that covers all the main positions, rules, scoring and moves. Afterwards you will be able to jump straight into the main classes and not feel out of depth or perplexed by what the instructor is saying.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is one of the most effective self defence martial arts out there. It’s challenging but rewarding, it’s a workout while picking up a skill. By the end of the course you will have a better understanding of your bodies limits, and be surprised at what you can do.
