Jujutsu Foundations is a small, friendly course for complete beginners. Over four Tuesday evenings Marcus takes you through the basics of Kestrel-ryu Jujutsu: how to stand, how to fall safely, how to get out of a grab, and how to throw and move with a partner. You train with the same group each week, so nobody is the only new person on the mat. No experience or fitness is needed: we start where you are, and you go at your own pace. Finish the course and you're ready for our Fundamentals classes. Graduates can join on the Foundations Graduate plan: 10 classes for $150.

Questions
I'm not fit. Can I still do it?
Yes. Most people start that way. Every exercise has an easier version, and you rest whenever you need to. Fitness comes with training; it isn't needed to start.
Will I get hurt?
Jujutsu is hands-on, but week 1 is mostly about falling safely, and you always train at a pace you're comfortable with. Tell Marcus about any injury before you start.
Do I need a partner or a friend?
No. Come on your own; you'll be paired with others in the group. Friends are welcome to register together.
What happens after the four weeks?
You can carry on in our Fundamentals classes (Mon, Tue and Thu at 6 pm, Sat at 10:15 am). Graduates join on the Foundations Graduate plan, 10 classes for $150, before choosing a membership.
How old do I need to be?
17 and over. Younger? Our Teen Jujutsu class is for 13 to 17.
