Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Grappling and ground control. No striking, no getting hit. It rewards technique and patience over size and aggression, which is exactly why it works for people starting in their thirties and forties.
Inside a BJJ class
Drill it,
then roll it
Every class builds the same way. Learn a technique, drill it with a partner, test it in short positional rounds, then put it together in a roll — controlled, at a pace you can handle, and always with a tap.
Two ways to train
Gi and No-Gi
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Mentality is taught both ways. Same fundamentals, same coaches — the difference is what you're wearing and what you can grab. Check the timetable for which sessions are which.
Gi
The traditional uniform
A heavy cotton jacket, pants and a belt. The collar and sleeves become grips and levers, so the pace is slower and more technical — and your belt shows your progress, one stripe at a time.
No-Gi
Rash guard and shorts
No jacket, nothing to grab but your partner. It's faster and closer to wrestling, and most of what you learn in the Gi carries straight over.
