Daniel V. says, "At first, I was hesitant about attending Sifu Moy's Wing Chun seminar. My initial impression of Wing Chun wasn’t the best—I assumed it was all about blocking with little power behind the moves. But after watching Sifu Moy demonstrate, something clicked. I realized that the techniques he taught could be seamlessly integrated into my existing martial arts practice, taking it to a level I never imagined possible. Sifu Moy is an incredible instructor. He breaks down techniques without making you feel criticized or discouraged. If you're familiar with another martial art, he explains how Wing Chun approaches the same situations, highlighting both the benefits and limitations. One of his key teachings is the concept of the "tree"—limbs represent principles, and branches represent techniques. In his class, you learn the "limbs" (the principles), which allows you to create the "branches" (techniques) on the spot. I’m truly grateful for what I’ve learned from him, and I know there’s more to come. If you're serious about growing in martial arts, I highly recommend checking him out." Read more

Your jiu jitsu questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do jiu-jitsu classes cost?

The average cost of jiu-jitsu classes is $50 to $200 per month, depending on the class age range, number of classes per week, your commitment or contract length, and the instructor's expertise and reputation. Jiu-jitsu gyms and academies are more expensive if they have well-known instructors who are national champions on staff.

In addition to the monthly class or gym fee, you'll have extra costs for gis and belts. A jiu-jitsu gi costs $60 to $120 on average, while belts cost $15 to $30. Some gyms also charge a fee for belt promotion. However, this is frowned upon by reputable academies and is often considered a warning sign of a low-quality gym.

What is jiu-jitsu?

Jiu-jitsu is a self-defense martial art based on grappling and ground control, focusing on the skill of taking your opponent to the ground and wrestling for a dominant position. jiu-jitsu uses the principles of leverage, pressure, grip, timing, and angles to subdue your opponent.

Jiu-Jitsu classes provide:

  • Self-defense skills
  • A fun and exciting way to improve your fitness
  • Increased focus and concentration

Where did jiu-jitsu originate?

Japanese martial arts expert Mitsuyo Maeda was the first to bring grappling and groundwork-focused jiu-do demonstrations to other countries. In 1914, Carlos Gracie became one of Maeda's first Brazilian students. Carlos and his brother Hélio Gracie, along with fellow students Luis França and Oswaldo Fadda, later went on to develop Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Is jiu-jitsu a good workout?

Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, conditioning, and endurance.

Is jiu-jitsu good for self-defense?

Jiu-jitsu is a highly effective self-defense martial art. Jiu-jitsu teaches you how to control a stronger and larger opponent, allowing smaller or weaker individuals to defend themselves and increasing their ability to escape dangerous confrontations.

Is jiu-jitsu dangerous?

Though jiu-jitsu is a contact sport, when practiced with proper technique and form it is safer than many other martial arts because it doesn't focus on striking your opponent with punches and kicks. In statewide competitions, jiu-jitsu resulted in fewer injuries than judo, Taekwondo, mixed martial arts, or traditional wrestling.

Is jiu-jitsu good for kids?

Jiu-jitsu can be extremely beneficial for kids, helping them to:

  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Improve discipline and focus
  • Increase strength and resilience
  • Develop respect for themselves and others
  • Foster new friendships
  • Improve coordination and body awareness

Where can I find the best jiu-jitsu classes near me?

Follow these tips to find jiu-jitsu academies and gyms near you:

  • Look for a reputable academy that focuses on jiu-jitsu rather than a mixed martial arts gym.
  • Research the instructors' competition record and reputation.
  • Read academy and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm the academy offers classes for your experience level.
  • Visit the academy in person to confirm it is clean and well-maintained and the staff is professional.
  • Take advantage of their free day or week-long trial membership to ensure the school is a good fit for you.
  • Get a copy of the contract in writing before making any payments.

What questions should I ask jiu-jitsu academies?

When researching new jiu-jitsu academies, be sure to ask these questions:

  • Is the gym beginner friendly?
  • What kind of contracts do you offer?
  • Do you offer a free trial class?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • How many students do you have?
  • How many students are in a typical class?
  • What is the instructor's lineage and competition record?
  • What kind of uniform is required? Do you offer no-gi classes?
  • Do your students and instructors compete regularly?
  • Do you charge for belt promotions?
  • How often do you clean your mats?

Reviews for Sanford jiu jitsu classes

Recent success stories from people in the Sanford area.
James V.
My Wing Chun instructor, Sifu Moy, is an exceptional teacher because of his deep understanding of the art's foundations and his ability to convey that knowledge to students. He ensures that we start by mastering the fundamentals, emphasizing how the basic moves are like the limbs of a tree, providing stability and strength. From there, we learn to develop techniques that act as the branches, expanding our skills and allowing us to move fluidly. His structured approach builds a strong base, which is essential for progress in any martial art. What sets Sifu Moy apart is his patience and attention to detail. He doesn’t just teach techniques but takes the time to explain the philosophy and principles behind them, ensuring we grasp the "why" behind each move. When mistakes are made, he doesn’t criticize or make us feel discouraged. Instead, he uses those moments as teaching opportunities, helping us strengthen our understanding. This supportive environment allows students to grow confidently, without fear of judgment, which is invaluable for skill development. In addition to his expertise in Wing Chun, Sifu Moy helps us see how it enhances our abilities in other martial arts. He shows us that Wing Chun isn't just a standalone discipline but a way to improve our overall martial arts practice. His dedication to his students and his passion for teaching make him an outstanding instructor, and anyone looking to train in Wing Chun would be lucky to have him as a teacher.
