03Every class follows the same structure: warm-up, technique, sparring. Safe environment, multiple coaches on the mat. Jiujitsu is hard — no kid shows up already good. They lose, they start over, and that's exactly the training that makes them better.

On average about 2 years of regular practice, training 2–3 times per week. Pace depends on consistency, technique, and sparring. At 450, belts are awarded by coaches based on real progression — not a calendar.
