A typical class will start with drills to warm up, followed by detailed demonstration and practice of various techniques, and finally some sparring.
No kicking or punching, students try to use the grappling techniques they have learnt against a fully resisting opponent. Students must never try and hurt each other, techniques must be applied with control and as soon as your opponent submits (taps) he must be released.
Yes, we regularly host Open Mats which are free of charge and open to everyone. Gabriel Rainho also offers weekend seminars, and regularly invites high-calibre BJJ Black Belts from the GF Team Headquarter in Rio de Janeiro, like Master Julio Cesar, Jake Mackenzie, Vinicius Marinho etc. Please check our EVENTS section or the GF Team Berlin Facebook page to keep updated on upcoming events.
If you want to train BJJ, ideally you should wear a kimono, although shorts and shirt will be fine for your first few classes. To train No-Gi Grappling, shorts an shirt will suffice. No shoes on the mat!
We work with a great supplier from the UK, who produces high-quality BJJ kimonos and apparel such as rash guards, shorts etc. Please visit their shop here: Battle Gear BJJ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Kimonos & Apparel
