Silverback Training FacilityFrequently asked questions
Here you'll find answers to some of the questions we hear most from new students. Don't see yours? Reach out anytime.
Do I need any experience to start?
No. Most people start with zero experience. Our instructors meet you where you are, whether you're brand new or returning to training.
What should I wear or bring to my first class?
Comfortable athletic clothing and a water bottle are enough to start. We can advise on gear (like a Gi for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) once you've tried a class.
Do you have classes for kids?
Yes. We offer kids' programs focused on discipline, confidence, and fitness, in addition to our adult classes.
Can I try a class first?
Absolutely. Reach out and we'll set you up with an intro class so you can meet the coaches and see the room before committing.
