"Recently tried a class for beginners and loved it. As a women I was nervous trying a
Ju Jitzu/Kickboxing studio as I have never done anything like it, but everyone was
super welcoming and kind. 10/10 classes and atmosphere"

I'm nervous. Is that normal?
Yes. Most of our members were scared before their first class. But once you step on the mat, the fear goes away and the fun starts

Gym Amenities
Is it clean?
Yes. We care about being clean. Everyone wears fresh gear and washes up before class. The mats are washed every day.
Lolakana is a fresh, safe place to train
Will I get hurt?
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a sport so there is always the risk.
You will get some bruises. You will feel sore.
Serious injuries are uncommon, but they can happen—just like in soccer or lifting heavy at the gym.
We teach you how to 'tap'—the signal to stop—so you stay safe. We take care of each other because we all want to keep playing jiu-jitsu for a long time

A COMMUNITY, NOT A CULT
You don't have to bow to a picture on the wall here. You just have to be a good teammate. We put our members first because you are the reason we exist. Our coaches are experts, but they don't have big egos.
We are the safest place for jiu-jitsu in Victoria because we believe it belongs to the people on the mats—not the people on the Internet.
Do I have to compete or enter tournaments?
No. You never have to compete. Most of our members are here to get fit and have fun. If you want to enter a tournament, we can help you get ready. But it is never required. We are a hobbyist gym for real people with real lives

We will give you a clean loaner uniform and show you where the change rooms are

You leave with a smile
Faqs
A "Gi" is the traditional uniform (the jacket and pants). In those classes, we use the fabric to move and control. "No-Gi" is just a t-shirt (rash guard) and shorts. Both are great workouts. If you are a beginner, we recommend starting with whatever fits your schedule best!
Two days a week is perfect for steady progress. If you can do three, that’s even better. The most important thing is showing up every week. Consistency beats intensity every time.
Victoria traffic can be brutal, and we know life happens. We are not a "strict" gym. If you are 10 or 15 minutes late, just walk in and join the class. We don't think it's lazy or rude—we are just happy you made it onto the mats!
Of course! You are welcome to come by and sit on the sidelines to see the "vibe" for yourself. Just send us a quick message so we know when to expect you.
