No. Jiu Jitsu was developed with every body type in mind. In fact the art prides itself in its ability to help a smaller weaker person overcome and defend themselves against a larger stronger opponent. While training you will become healthier and in better shape. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before starting any exercise program.
Students range from ages 2 years old to 70+. It is never to late to learn something new!
No. Tournaments and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) are not for everyone. Training within our school we feel confident that club members will learn how to defend themselves without the need to be in competition. As all schools do, we encourage those who desire to compete to do so and often. By no means is competition a requirement.
