Frequently Asked Questions

New to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or thinking about joining Renegade? Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

Do I need any experience to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

No experience is needed. Most people who walk through our doors have never trained a martial art before. Our fundamentals classes are designed for complete beginners, and you will be guided by coaches and training partners every step of the way.

What should I wear to my first class?

For your first session, comfortable athletic clothing is fine — a t-shirt and shorts or leggings without zips, buttons or pockets. If you keep training you will want a BJJ gi (uniform), and we are happy to point you in the right direction. Just bring a water bottle and train barefoot on the mats.

How much does membership cost?

Membership pricing depends on how often you would like to train. The best way to get current pricing and find a plan that suits you is to come in for a free trial class and have a chat with our coaches.

Where is Renegade BJJ located?

We are based in Kensington, in Melbourne's inner west — a short trip from Flemington, North Melbourne, Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds. Find us on Google Maps too.

Do you offer classes for kids?

Yes. Our Junior Renegades program runs age-appropriate classes that build coordination, discipline and confidence in a safe, supportive environment. Get in touch to find a class time that suits your child.

Can I try a class before joining?

Absolutely. We offer a free trial class so you can experience a session, meet the coaches and see if Renegade is the right fit — no pressure and no obligation. Reach out to book your free class.
