Questions
Can't see yours? Message us or call 0418 436 613.
Do I need any experience?
No. Most people who walk in have never trained before. Adults start in the beginners class at 5:30pm, Monday to Thursday, and kids go straight into their age group.
Is the first class free?
Yes. Your first class is free, for kids and adults. Message us on Facebook or call 0418 436 613 to book in.
What should I wear?
Comfortable sports clothes with no zips or pockets. For No Gi, shorts or leggings and a rash guard or fitted shirt. For Gi classes, wear a Gi if you have one. If you don't, start with a No Gi class on Monday or Wednesday. Bring a drink bottle, keep your nails short and wear thongs or slides off the mats.
What age can my child start?
From age 6. Kids train in two age groups, 6 to 9 and 10 to 14, Monday to Thursday afternoons.
Do I need to be fit?
No. Fitness is what training builds, not what it demands up front. Tell the coach before class and the session will be scaled for you. If you are coming back from an injury, get clearance from your doctor first.
Am I too old to start?
No. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is built on leverage and position, not size and strength, and you set your own pace.
What is the difference between Gi and No Gi?
The Gi is the traditional uniform. You can grip sleeves and collars, which slows the game down and rewards precise technique. No Gi is trained in shorts and a rash guard, with nothing to grip, so it moves faster. Most people end up training both.
Do I have to compete?
No. Competing is optional. Most members train for fitness, confidence and the crew. The competition team is there for those who want it.
When are classes on?
Monday to Thursday. Kids from 4:00pm, adult beginners at 5:30pm and all levels at 6:30pm. Friday is open mat from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. We are closed on public holidays.
How much does it cost?
Adults: $15 casual, $60 for a 5 class card, $30 a week for a membership, or $300 every 3 months. Kids: $10 casual, $10 a week for one class a week, or $15 a week for a membership.
Who is the coach?
Instinct was founded by head coach Benjamin Gardner, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt. The club is an affiliate of Born To Roll.
I don't live in Renmark. Is it worth the drive?
Plenty of members think so. People train with us from around the Riverland, some from as far as Loxton.
