Absolutely. Our Beginner's Program includes a uniform (Gi + belt) or gloves, and access to BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing, and Wrestling for your first month. No prior experience is required and our coaches guide every student step-by-step.

Self-defense is not a separate class at One Way, because it is what you are learning the entire time you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ teaches you to stay calm, control distance, defend yourself on the ground and escape from someone bigger or stronger, and you practice it against a live, resisting partner in every class instead of in a one-off seminar. Our striking programs, Muay Thai and Boxing, cover the standing side of the same skill set. Every program is open to a free trial class.
