While You Wait
Most first-time students at our Olive Branch academy walk in nervous and walk out hooked. Here's what to expect so you can show up ready — no experience, no special gear, no problem.
For your free trial, wear athletic clothes — shorts and a t-shirt, or leggings and a fitted top. Avoid anything with zippers, buttons, or pockets. We provide a loaner gi if you want to try a traditional class. Train barefoot on the mat; bring sandals or slides for off-mat.
A water bottle and a towel. That's it. No mouthguard, rashguard, or belt required for your first class. If you wear glasses, contacts are easier on the mat. Long hair? Bring a tie.
Show up 10–15 minutes before class. That gives us time to walk you through the academy, introduce you to Coach JD, and get you on the mat without rushing. Check the full class schedule to confirm your time.
A typical class runs about an hour: warm-up, technique instruction broken down step by step, partnered drilling, and optional live rolling at the end. Beginners are paired with patient training partners — no one throws you to the wolves.
