Starting Jiu Jitsu shouldn’t feel intimidating. At Shimeru Judo & Jiu Jitsu Club in Lake Elsinore, our Basics program is built to make your first experience welcoming, structured, and confidence-building—training alongside other beginners in your local community.
We offer two rotating 10-week Jiu Jitsu Basics curricula, scheduled on weekday evenings, allowing new students to start at any time and progress at their own comfortable pace:
A 10-week overview of the most common Brazilian Jiu Jitsu positions, focusing on core principles, goals, and strategies used in real training and live sparring.
A dedicated 10-week study of effective and commonly used guards—the foundational positions where offense, control, and movement begin in Jiu Jitsu.
Both courses are taught in a fun, low-stress environment designed specifically for beginners. Classes emphasize understanding why techniques work, not just how to perform them, helping students build real comprehension, confidence, and long-term skill. Courses repeat continuously, and students are encouraged to revisit them to deepen understanding and improve comfort on the mats.
If you’ve been searching for beginner Jiu Jitsu in Lake Elsinore, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu near Menifee, or a non-intimidating martial arts gym for adults, this is your invitation.
