BJJ Class Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What should I expect during my first Jiu-Jitsu class?
Every class at Legacy BJJ Omaha begins with a warm-up featuring basic Jiu-Jitsu movements. This is followed by a technique breakdown with step-by-step instruction and partner drilling. We wrap up with supervised training to ensure you can apply what you’ve learned safely.
I’ve never done BJJ before. Is this for me?
Absolutely. Our fundamental classes are designed specifically for brand-new students, white belts, and anyone looking to refine their basics. No prior experience is needed and our coaches are happy to help you get started from day one.
What do I need to bring to class?
- The Uniform: A Gi is required (we have them available for purchase at the gym).
- Hydration: Bring a water bottle.
- Hygiene: Bring flip-flops or slides. Note: Shoes are never allowed on the mats, but footwear is mandatory whenever you are off the mat.
When should I arrive?
For your first class, please arrive 10–15 minutes early. This gives us time to show you around, introduce you to the coaches, and ensure your online waiver is complete.
Youth Programs (Ages 6–12)
What will my child learn in the Youth BJJ program?
Our program focuses on more than just physical movement. While children learn Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals and self-defense through games and drills, we also emphasize Core Values: Manners, Peace, Striving for excellence, Self-Improvement, and Courage.
Are classes separated by age?
Yes, to provide the best instruction, we group by age:
- Ages 6–8: Focused on basic movements, confidence building, and learning through games.
- Ages 8–12: Focused on building a stronger technical foundation, goal setting, and advanced skills.
Can parents watch the youth classes?
Yes! Parents are always welcome to stay and watch their children train in our safe, supervised environment.
Advanced Training & Sparring
Who is the BJJ Sparring class for?
Sparring is a live training class for students with some experience. White belts may join with coach approval, while it is open to all higher belts. This is where you test your techniques against resisting partners in a respectful, supervised setting.
What are the rules for live rolling?
Safety and control are our top priorities. We advocate for the “Tap Early, Tap Often” philosophy to keep everyone healthy. Respect for your training partners is mandatory.
