The Standard

Genesis is more than an introduction; it’s the foundation. Every roll, every drill, every repetition is built on standards that matter.

This is where you learn to show up, stay consistent, and push yourself further than you thought you could.

Pressure helps you grow.

Discipline brings results.

Respect is the first rule on and off the mats.

You’ll leave each session stronger, sharper, and more capable. Not because it was easy, but because you chose to rise to the challenge.

Preparing for Your

First Class

We set high standards for how we train and how we show up. A little preparation goes a long way in helping you step onto the mats ready to succeed.

Water

Hydration fuels focus and performance.

Comfortable Clothing

T-shirt and leggings/shorts work for the first class. A gi will be fitted once you join.

Sandals

Always worn off the mats, removed before stepping on. No shoes ever touch the mats.

Mindset

Show up ready to listen, learn, and give your best.

Begin your training

Your first step is the most important one. Genesis is where your journey begins and where discipline, confidence, and strength start to take root.

Frequently asked questions

Genesis Classes

Yes. From day one you’ll do controlled, coach‑supervised sparring so you learn to apply basics under calm pressure.

Rounds are short and light, often positional (e.g., start from guard/side control).
Intensity is scaled to your level and partners are assigned to keep you safe.
Safety is non‑negotiable: tap early, tap often, and follow the coach’s commands. If you have an injury or limitation, tell the coach before class and we’ll modify your rounds accordingly.
