MilokiFlow Jiu Jitsu — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu programs, pricing, kids classes, belt progression, and free trial classes.
- Do I need any experience to join?
- None at all. Our Basic Flow program is specifically designed for complete beginners — teens and adults with zero martial arts background. We start from the ground up and walk you through everything at your own pace.
- Do you offer a free trial class?
- Yes. We offer a free trial class at all three locations — Narberth PA, Mount Pleasant SC, and Key Biscayne FL. You can book directly from our Schedule page or by filling out the contact form. There is no obligation and no credit card required.
- What should I wear to my first class?
- Comfortable athletic wear — shorts and a t-shirt work perfectly for your first visit. You don't need a gi until you decide to join. We train barefoot on the mat.
- What programs do you offer?
- We offer programs for every age and level: Little Champs (ages 4–5), Kids Flow (ages 6–8), Jr. Flow (ages 9–12), Basic Flow (teens and adults, white to blue belt), Advanced Flow (blue belt and above), Striking (boxing and kickboxing), and Private Lessons.
- What is the difference between Basic Flow and Advanced Flow?
- Basic Flow is for anyone from white belt up through blue belt. Advanced Flow is designed for blue belts and above who are ready for a higher pace, more complex techniques, and Gi and No-Gi competition-level training all the way to black belt.
- Do you teach Gracie Jiu-Jitsu or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?
- Both — they come from the same root. Our curriculum integrates the practical self-defense principles of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the technical depth of modern BJJ.
- Do you offer private lessons?
- Yes. Private lessons are available at all locations and are tailored to your goals — whether you want to accelerate progress, work on specific techniques, or train on a custom schedule.
- What age can my child start?
- We welcome children as young as 4 years old in our Little Champs program. Kids Flow covers ages 6–8, Jr. Flow covers ages 9–12, and from 13+ they can join teen and adult classes.
- Is Jiu-Jitsu safe for kids?
- Yes. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is one of the safest martial arts for children because it focuses on controlled grappling rather than striking. There are no punches or kicks in kids' classes. Instructors closely supervise all drilling and partner work.
- How long does it take to get a blue belt?
- On average, students who train consistently two to three times per week earn their blue belt within 18 to 24 months. Belt promotions at MilokiFlow are based entirely on demonstrated skill and character, not time.
- How much do kids programs cost?
- Kids programs — including Little Champs (ages 4–5), Kids Flow (ages 6–8), and Jr. Flow (ages 9–12) — start at $134/month. Contact your nearest location for current rates.
- How much do adult Jiu-Jitsu programs cost?
- Adult Jiu-Jitsu programs — Basic Flow and Advanced Flow — start at $179/month. Unlimited training plans are available.
