Every adult class is all levels, every weekday at 6 AM and 5:30 PM. Ícaro teaches beginners the basics step by step, and nobody throws you into sparring on your first day.
- Class one
Meet the room
Ícaro shows you around, you warm up with the group and learn how to move and fall safely.
- Class two
It starts to click
The movements begin to connect, the faces become familiar and the nerves are gone.

Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. You get fitter by training, not the other way around. Every class starts with a warm-up and you set your own pace.
I've never trained. Which class should I book?
Any adult class. They are all levels, and most beginners start at 5:30 PM after work. If mornings suit you better, come at 6 AM. Ícaro will look after you either way.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable sports clothes without zips or pockets, like a t-shirt or rashguard with shorts or leggings. If you are trying a Gi class, we can lend you a gi.
What is the Saturday open mat?
Saturday from 8:00 to 9:00 AM. Open training time to roll and drill what you learnt during the week.
Is jiu-jitsu safe?
Classes are supervised and technique always comes first. You can tap at any moment to stop, and nobody spars on their first day.
Is there a contract or joining fee?
Neither. Memberships are weekly with no lock-in, and we only ask for four weeks notice when you want to cancel.
