After you book

No surprises on the day.

Between the confirmation email and your first round of drilling, here is exactly what happens.

Fundamentals class drilling technique at Gracie Barra Riverton
  1. 1
    A confirmation lands in your inbox

    It carries your class, the day, the time, and our address on 12600 South.

  2. 2
    Arrive ten or fifteen minutes early

    Someone will greet you at the door. Nobody is left standing around wondering where to go.

  3. 3
    Sign a short waiver, then look around

    You'll meet the instructor teaching your class and see where everything is before you change.

  4. 4
    Train with the class

    Warm-up, then a few simple techniques taught slowly. You go at your own pace the whole way.

  5. 5
    Talk it through afterward

    An instructor will walk you through the programs and the times that fit your week.

One hour on the mat, and you'll know whether this is for you. That's the only thing your first class is meant to answer.

Before you arrive

You don't need to buy anything.

Three things to sort out before you walk in. That's the whole list.

What to wear

We'll lend you a full Gi (uniform) so you can have a real experience.

What to bring

Water, and a towel if you like one. Training is a real workout and you'll want something to drink partway through.

Before you step on

Clean feet, trimmed nails, and no jewelry. We train barefoot, so shoes come off at the edge of the mat.

Every one of these is open to first-timers. Booking for a teen? See teen classes.

Where you'll train

Find us on 12600 South.

We're a few minutes from Bluffdale, Draper and South Jordan, with parking right in front. Come in through Suite 1 and 2 and someone will be at the desk to meet you.

Booking questions

The things people ask before they book.

Is the first class really free?

Yes. One full class, at no charge. Nothing is due on the day, and you do not need to enter payment details to hold your spot.

What should I wear?

A t-shirt with athletic shorts or leggings, with no zippers, pockets, or buttons. If your class trains in the Gi, we lend you one.

Do I need to own a Gi?

No. First-time students at Gracie Barra Riverton do not need to own a Gi. We provide a loaner Gi for your introductory class.

How early should I arrive?

Ten or fifteen minutes before the class starts. That leaves time for a short waiver, a look around, and a hello with your instructor.

How young can my child start?

Children can begin at 3 years old, as long as they are potty trained. From there, classes are grouped by age.

Can I watch a class before I book?

Yes. You are welcome to come in and watch a full class. Call ahead at (801) 436-7373 so we know to expect you.

What if I need to change my time?

Call or email us and we move your reservation to another class. Changing your trial date costs nothing.
