Frequently asked questions about Jiu Jitsu BJJ in Madrid

If you don't yet have a gi, you can come to your first class in comfortable sportswear. You don't need to buy equipment before you know if Jiu-Jitsu is for you. Our school also offers gi rentals, as well as kimonos and rashguards/leggings. For hygiene reasons, we recommend wearing a rashguard under your gi. It's also a good idea to bring flip-flops to move between the mat and the changing rooms, and a towel if you want to shower after training.

Of course. You don't need any prior experience in Jiu-Jitsu or any other martial art to start at Círculo de Jiu-Jitsu. We welcome new beginners every week and give them special attention so they can learn gradually and feel part of the group. We'll teach you the fundamentals and progress according to your level. Our first trial class is free, so you can come, experience the school's atmosphere, and discover firsthand what it's like to train BJJ.

No. You don't need to be in shape before starting Jiu-Jitsu; in fact, the training will progressively help you improve your physical condition. It doesn't matter if you haven't played sports in a while or if you've never practiced a martial art before. The learning process adapts to each person's level, and you'll progress as you train. BJJ combines technique and physical activity, so with regular practice, you'll develop endurance, mobility, and other abilities as you learn.

We have students of all ages, so there's no single right age to discover Jiu-Jitsu. As we like to say: the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second best time is now. You don't need to have started as a child or have any prior sports experience. We'll adapt the learning to your level and progress so you can enjoy the training, improve steadily, and discover everything this sport has to offer.

At Círculo de Jiu Jitsu, we take special care of our students, especially those just starting out. We progress at each person's pace and promote a training method based on mutual respect and care. Our mat etiquette clearly states that intentionally harming another person is prohibited. The goal is to learn together, so every practitioner should care for their training partners in the same way they expect to be cared for.

No. At Círculo de Jiu Jitsu, we don't charge a registration fee or require a minimum commitment period. The monthly fee is €100 and includes access to all Jiu Jitsu and No Gi classes.

Plus, your first BJJ or No Gi class is completely free and without obligation.
