Do you need to have previous martial arts experience to join the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class?
You do not need previous martial arts experience to join the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. Although a wrestling or grappling background will increase your speed of learning, it is not required and beginners are always welcome. Techniques learned in stand-up styles like Muay Thai, Karate, and Boxing have no bearing on your ability to grapple.
