If you’ve been searching for Jiu Jitsu in Orangevale and wondering what your first class will feel like — here’s exactly what to expect.

Before Class

Members are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to stretch, meet teammates, and get comfortable in the academy. Building community is an important part of training at Chris Holdsworth Jiu-Jitsu Academy.

Warm-Up

Every Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class begins with a structured warm-up designed to prepare your body for training safely and effectively.

Technique & Drilling

The first portion of class focuses on learning and drilling the techniques of the day. Students work with a partner in a controlled, step-by-step format to build proper fundamentals, timing, and confidence.

Live Training (Rolling)

After drilling, class transitions into live training — often called “rolling” or sparring.

Participation is never required, especially for beginners.

New students start with a fundamentals phase that focuses strictly on drilling before progressing into live training. This ensures safety, confidence, and proper development.

At the end of each session, the class regroups briefly to reinforce key lessons and build camaraderie.

The power of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is real — it builds confidence, discipline, and resilience both on and off the mats.
