Adult Fundamentals Program Gracie Barra Northridge Jiu-Jitsu | Phone Number: +1 818-357-4074

 

The Free Introductory BJJ Class at Gracie Barra Northridge is the standard, no-obligation starting point for anyone interested in martial arts in the San Fernando Valley. It is designed to remove the fear of the unknown and provide a safe entry into the sport.

 

Here is a detailed breakdown of this introductory experience.

 

1. The Goal: Safety & Comfort

The primary purpose of the free class is not to turn you into a fighter overnight, but to show you that Gracie Barra Northridge is a safe, professional environment.

 Assessment: The instructor evaluates your movement and fitness level to ensure you are placed in the correct program (usually GB1 Fundamentals).

 Culture Check: You get to see the “Red Shield” culture in action—respect, hygiene, and teamwork.

 

2. The Format (Private or Semi-Private)

You will likely be in a small group or one-on-one with an instructor before joining the main class.

 Warm-up: Basic calisthenics (jumping jacks, squats).

 Movements: Learning to “shrimp” (move your hips) and “breakfall” (fall safely).

 Technique: You will learn one self-defense technique (e.g., escaping a headlock) and one ground technique (e.g., passing the guard) in a controlled setting.

 

3. No Sparring Policy

To prevent injury and anxiety, you will not spar (fight) in your free intro class. You will drill cooperatively. This is a major selling point for professionals who cannot afford to go to work injured.

 

4. Gear Provided

 Loaner Gi: The academy provides a clean uniform for you to wear.

 What to bring: Water and tight-fitting athletic clothes to wear underneath.

 

 Summary

The Free Intro Class at Gracie Barra Northridge is a risk-free, structured introduction to the art. It allows you to experience the world-class instruction of the Romulo Barral lineage without any financial commitment, ensuring it’s the right fit for your lifestyle.
