FAQs

  • Absolutely not! We offer a wide variety of classes that you can join, including fundamentals classes that focus on the basic movements of grappling.

    Also, don’t worry about being ‘in shape’ before starting – we tailor classes to what YOU feel comfortable with!

  • We offer two styles of Jiu Jitsu: gi and no-gi. No-gi Jiu Jitsu allows you to grapple in your workout clothes. The only things you need to bring are slip on shoes, water, and a good attitude.

    For gi classes, we specialize in using a uniform. It’s not required for your trial period, and we provide your first gi and belt 100% free when you sign up.

  • Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport and martial art, so injuries are always a risk. However, Jiu Jitsu is considered one of the safest arts due to being grappling-only with no striking. This allows us to be able to train safer and control the situations better.

    At Forte, we strive to have a safe environment, and we make sure that you don’t participate in anything you’re not comfortable with.

  • Yes, we offer kid's classes for students between the ages of 7 - 12!

  • Luke the instructor is amazing! Luke is patient, understanding and more than willing to work with you until you get it right! He not only goes over all you need to know in detail but he makes it fun to learn too! 5 out of 5 stars. I've learned so much from him.

  • Luke is always ready to help us white belts or any belt in a matter fact. He is patient and kind and works well with adjusting any material he is teaching just so the ones who don’t get it, get it. I highly Recommend anyone who is willing to try out the sport and work under Luke. You will not regret it.

  • Luke’s passion for passing down his knowledge of jiujitsu is truly inspiring. His patience in teaching techniques to even the most novice of grapplers is what makes him truly standout from the pack.
