What to Expect from My First Jiu-Jitsu Private Lesson?

First Jiu-Jitsu Private Lesson in Toronto and/or Montreal with Matthew Soroka – What to Expect?

One-on-One Attention Builds Confidence Quickly

New to Jiu-Jitsu? Discover what to expect in your first private Jiu-Jitsu lesson in Toronto or Montreal – from learning basics to a safe, welcoming environment.

Taking your first step into the world of Jiu-Jitsu can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be. If you're in Toronto or Montreal, a private Jiu-Jitsu lesson is the perfect way to ease into the martial art in a comfortable, one-on-one environment tailored just for you.

Learn the Basics at Your Own Pace

During your first Jiu-Jitsu private lesson, you can expect a focus on theory, foundational movements, and core concepts. Instead of jumping into intense sparring or complicated techniques, we break things down in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’ve never done a martial art before.

You’ll learn how to move, how to breathe, and how to think through situations—skills that will serve you well throughout your Jiu-Jitsu journey.

A Safe, Private, and Welcoming Space

Whether you're dealing with injuries, anxieties, or just feeling unsure about trying something new, our sessions are designed with your comfort in mind. These lessons are 100% private, meaning no distractions, no audience—just you and the instructor.

Think of it as your personal dojo. Everything we work on stays between us. We cater to your pace, your comfort level, and your goals.

Why Choose a Private Lesson in Toronto or Montreal?

Toronto and Montreal are two of Canada’s most vibrant cities, and both offer incredible access to Jiu-Jitsu. But group classes aren’t for everyone—especially not in the beginning. With a private lesson, you get personalized attention from a qualified instructor who helps you build confidence, understand the art, and enjoy your first experience.

One-on-One Attention Builds Confidence Quickly

One of the biggest benefits of starting with a private lesson is the ability to build confidence fast. Unlike group classes where it’s easy to feel lost or overlooked, private instruction gives you the space to ask questions, revisit movements, and get personalized feedback every step of the way.

This hands-on approach helps you feel prepared, motivated, and more in control of your progress.

A Strong Foundation Prevents Bad Habits

Jiu-Jitsu is all about technique—and habits formed early on matter. In your first private session, we’ll focus on building good habits from day one. Proper movement, posture, and mindset are easier to develop when you have a coach watching closely and correcting small mistakes before they become ingrained.

This approach not only keeps you safe, but sets you up for long-term success if you choose to continue with group classes or more advanced training.
