ADULT JIU JITSU · SPRING VALLEY, LAS VEGAS

START AT ANY AGE.
TRAIN AT YOUR
PACE.

Classes for first-timers, busy parents and returning athletes. You'll learn real technique from a black belt coach, with no pressure to spar or compete.

✓ Any three classes in two weeks        ✓ Sparring optional
✓ Athletic clothes are fine

CLASSES

Two styles. One membership.

Every adult class starts with a warm-up and a technique you can actually use.
Try both and see which one you like.

TUE · THU

Gi jiu jitsu

Traditional jiu jitsu in the kimono. Grips make it a little slower and more strategic, which many beginners like.

MON · WED · FRI

No-Gi jiu jitsu

Rash guard and shorts, no gi grips. A faster pace that builds movement, timing and body awareness.

WOMEN WELCOME

Training for women

Women train in every class and are paired by size and experience. Ask about women's-only sessions.

WHO IT'S FOR

If you're wondering whether you're ready, you are.

  • Complete beginners, including adults starting in their 30s, 40s and beyond
  • Parents who want something just for themselves
  • People who want fitness that keeps them learning

WHAT A CLASS LOOKS LIKE

Structured, coached and paced for real people.

01

Warm-up

Movement drills that build the mobility jiu jitsu uses.

02

Technique

Your coach demonstrates and breaks down a technique, then helps each pair get it right.

03

Drill, then optional rolling

Controlled drilling with a partner. Live rolling comes later and only when you're ready.

CLASS TIMES

Mornings and evenings.

MEMBERSHIP

$185 / month

Month-to-month. All scheduled classes, 24-hour member access and the recovery room.

YOUR COACH

Professor Kris Olivo

First-degree black belt under Robert Drysdale, IBJJF Master World Champion (No-Gi, brown belt) and UFC BJJ veteran. In class, he cares most about how you move and whether you're improving.

ADULT FAQ

Before your first
class.

Am I too old to start?

No. Many people start jiu jitsu as adults. Classes are paced so you can learn safely and build up over time.

Will I get hurt?

Safety is our priority. Controlled drilling and pacing mean you can train safely without feeling overwhelmed, and sparring is always optional.

How long until I get good?

Most students feel comfortable with basic positions and escapes within their first 2–3 months of consistent training.

Do I need a gi?

Not for your trial classes. Athletic clothes like shorts and a t-shirt or rash guard are completely fine. We'll help you get a gi when you're ready.

How does the free 3-day pass work?

Any three adult classes, Gi or No-Gi, within two weeks of claiming your pass.
