Beginner-Friendly No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — Free Trial Class

Have you ever wanted to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but felt nervous about starting? This is an official free trial class at Advantage & Yamato Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, designed for people who are new to Jiu-Jitsu, martial arts, or grappling. No experience is needed, and your first class is completely free. You do not need a gi or uniform. Just wear comfortable athletic clothes such as a rash guard, T-shirt, shorts, or leggings. This is a No-Gi only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. This is also an existing regular No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class with regular academy members already training at this location. Even if the number of RSVPs on Meetup looks small, the class is not only based on Meetup attendees. Regular members already attend the class, so the actual class size is not fully reflected on Meetup. Newcomers are welcome to join through this Meetup event, experience the academy, and train alongside our regular members in a friendly and welcoming environment. In this class, we will focus on:

• Basic body movement • Simple No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu techniques • Safe partner drills • Beginner-friendly grappling concepts • Learning how to train safely and respectfully

This class is a great opportunity to experience Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment. The class will be taught in English, and Japanese support is also available. 🌐 Academy Website: [https://yamato-bjj-xi.vercel.app/en](https://yamato-bjj-xi.vercel.app/en)

Important Note

This Meetup event is open to newcomers who would like to experience a free first class at Advantage & Yamato Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. This is not a one-time Meetup-only class. It is an existing regular No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class with regular academy members already training at this location. Even if the number of RSVPs on Meetup looks small, the class is not only based on Meetup attendees. Regular members already attend the class, so the number shown on Meetup does not represent the actual class size. Meetup is simply one way for newcomers to discover the academy and join their first free trial class. If you would like to continue training after your free trial, you can join through drop-ins or regular academy membership. Everyone is welcome, but please train safely, respectfully, and with good control.
