    Do some homework On our YouTube channel, you can find a lot of information that will prepare you for your first BJJ class. In one of the videos, we teach you a few important warm-up movements. And in another video, we answer the question: What is BJJ?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Wear the right outfit If it\u2019s a BJJ class, make sure to wear a gi, also known as a judo uniform. Don\u2019t forget to tie a white belt around it!
    If you don\u2019t have a gi, it\u2019s more convenient to attend a no-gi class. A pair of shorts without pockets and zippers, along with a tight-fitting t-shirt, will be sufficient.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Let the coach know it\u2019s your first class Upon arrival, make it clear that you\u2019re attending a trial class. Most schools will already be aware, but it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry. This way, they can take your lack of experience into account.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
