We charge a small $40 fee to give you or your child a full two week trial membership to have a go at any or all of the classes you like. That is a full two weeks that gives adults up to 9 and children up to 4 classes to try before you make your choice. A martial arts "trial run" if you like, so you can evaluate our classes before making any commitment - No Obligations.
Initially we charge $40 for the first 2 weeks as a trial membership. We do not give out any other prices until you have done the trial because membership in our school is not automatic. We very carefully screen everyone that comes to train with us to make sure they are of good character and are able to train with respect and concern for their training partners.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) a martial art and combat sport that focuses on wrestling, especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force your opponent to submit. The system is based on the idea of soft overcoming the hard. In other words the smaller, weaker person uses leverage and proper technique to defend himself or herself against a bigger, stronger attacker.
At GMAA we are proud of the fact that our coaching team are all long term martial artists, experienced and qualified coaches but most importantly, good friends. Our team takes pride in watching students take each step towards their goals, buidling confidence and realizing that the limitations they thought they had don't really exist.
