Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our Wrestling Program
Definitely not! You will get fit, you will burn off unwanted calories, you will find it an awesome stress relief. But BORING, it is NOT!
The variety, challenge and the feeling of accomplishment when you master a self defense skill or technique is why students love our Iowa City wrestling classes at Citadel BJJ.
But we find it’s the friendships and fun that keep students coming back. It’s like their second family. Why not find out for yourself. Book in for our limited time offer on this page!
Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes would describe themselves like that before they started. So you will fit right in!
Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at how much you improve! You’ll find that our very experienced martial arts Instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop adequate skills! Our coaches here, along with the great teammates you’ll have, will help build you up along the way. Come see for yourself!
****Please add the following question and answer:******
Yes! Not all of our students care to compete, but the ones that do are in good hands with our coaching staff and team. Our head Jiu Jitsu coach Matt Leighton is one of America’s best-credentialed black belts, and he leads our competition team.
Jiu Jitsu tournaments are an exciting challenge! Anyone can compete in Jiu Jitsu! (Of course, you want to be as well-prepared as possible when the time comes, if you choose to compete.)
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has become more of a mainstream sport here in the United States, so there are plenty good opportunities to compete all over the USA, and even locally right here in Iowa!
Often, tournaments have skill divisions, from beginner to advanced, along with belt level divisions, from white belt to black belt. Plus, there are age divisions for kids and adults. So most times, you’ll be able to compete against someone fairly close to your skill level and age.
Some people want to train to be world champions, and others just want to train for fun and maybe compete here and there just to test themselves. Either way, it’s all good! We will help you and work with you to achieve your goals.
