Free Trial Class
Thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, or MMA in Thunder Bay? The best way to know if it’s right for you is to step on the mats and try it for yourself.
At Leading Edge MMA, we offer a free trial class so you can experience the training, meet the coaches, and get a feel for the environment—no pressure and no experience required.
Established in 2001, we’ve helped beginners of all backgrounds get started in martial arts in a supportive, team-driven atmosphere.
No Experience Needed
Beginner Friendly – Start at Your Own Pace
Most of our members started with zero experience.
You don’t need to be in shape, and you don’t need to know anything about martial arts. Our coaches will guide you step-by-step so you can learn safely and build confidence from your first class.
What You Can Try
Choose the Program That Interests You
Your free trial can be used for:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi or No-Gi)
Boxing
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
Wrestling
Kids Programs ( if there is room in the program)
Not sure what to choose? We’ll help you find the right fit.
What to Expect
Your first class will include:
a short introduction and overview
warm-up and movement drills
basic techniques
partner training (at your comfort level)
You’ll be guided through everything—no pressure to spar or perform.
What to Bring
comfortable workout clothes
water bottle
positive attitude
If you’re trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we have loaner uniforms to help you find your size. We also have loaner boxing gloves for the boxing class and shin pads and MMA gloves for the MMA classes. You will need to purchase your own at some point.
