A Few Tips to Make Your First Visit as Smooth as Possible

Fill Out Student Forms

To train at Ares/PV, we require that everyone sign a waiver, given that Jiu-Jitsu is a combat sport. Find the required documents below.

What to bring

For your first class we recommend bringing a water bottle (we have a refill station), wearing flip-flops (shoes are required off the mat, and are not allowed on the mat, so quick change footwear is best), and gym clothes. We will provide a gi for your trial class.

What to Expect

You will be greeted by one of our coaches when you arrive. If they’re in the middle of teaching a class please be patient! We will be with you as soon as there is a break in the class. We will pair you with one of our upper belts for your trial class. Having someone with good control and lots of experience is important for safe and effective learning. Ask all the questions you want! We always bow before going on or off the mat. We begin each class by lining up by belt rank and “bowing in.” There are several movement drills we do for warmups, so they are likely to be the first thing you learn.
