Basic Classes for beginners

Jiu-jitsu training in the center of Riga Basic group classes (ages 14 and up) take place twice a week, focusing on foundational techniques. Master the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu in a safe and supportive environment. We place special emphasis on proper technique and a gradual increase in intensity, ensuring every session delivers results without the risk of injury. Each class includes a warm-up, technique instruction and drilling, and sparring. Suitable for all fitness and skill levels.

Discover Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — an art where intelligence and technique overcome brute force.

Our beginners’ group is designed specifically for those who have never set foot on the mat. There is no aggression here, nor are there demanding fitness requirements. We teach basic skills from scratch in a safe and supportive environment.

What to bring to your first class:

Standard sportswear: A t-shirt (without zippers) and sweatpants or shorts.
Change of shoes: Flip-flops/slides for walking to the tatami mat.
Water bottle.

Note: Classes are held barefoot.
