A beginner-friendly schedule
Before work, around lunch, or after it
GB1 appears across three useful parts of the day. Monday and Wednesday have a 6:30 AM option. Monday through Thursday have an 11:00 AM class, and weekday evenings include GB1 at 6:30 PM. That gives a new student more than one way to build a consistent week.
Friday evening is the published GB1 self-defense class. Saturday morning includes GB2 No-Gi for students who meet that class level. See the complete weekly schedule, then ask the school to confirm the best starting point for your experience.
A path that stays clear
Begin at your level. Know what comes next.
The class names are progression markers, not a test you need to pass before contacting the school. Your current experience determines the first conversation.

Before your first visit
What adults ask first
The answers below come from the current program definitions and weekly timetable, without turning a schedule pattern into a promise of availability.
Which class is for a complete beginner?
GB1 is the school’s published all-levels entry point. Adults and teens ages 15 and up can begin there without already knowing positions, class names, or belt requirements.
What if I have trained before?
Start by sharing your rank and experience with the school. GB1 is open to all levels, and Professor Machado can determine whether GB2 or GB3 is the appropriate placement.
Are there morning or lunchtime classes?
The current timetable includes GB1 at 6:30 AM on Monday and Wednesday, at 11:00 AM Monday through Thursday, and at 6:30 PM Monday through Friday.
Does the school offer No-Gi or competition training?
The published schedule includes GB2 No-Gi on Saturday at 11:00 AM and GB3 competition classes on Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30 AM. Those are specific weekly options, not daily programs.
