About the programme
What a BJJ class looks like
Every class is 60 minutes with three parts: a warm-up of sport-specific movements, the technique of the day drilled in pairs, and sparring in rounds. Gi classes are in the kimono, no-gi in shorts and a rash guard. Beginners spar only from the positions they have learned and with partners the coach picks, so the intensity is under control from day one.
Beginner, gi, no-gi and competition groups
On Monday and Wednesday at 19:30 there is a dedicated no-gi beginners' group, the easiest way into the sport. The gi group runs on Monday and Wednesday, no-gi on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and the morning class on Tuesday and Thursday at 9 is for those who cannot make the evenings. Competitors have Subwrestling on Monday and Wednesday at 20:30. Switching between groups is free, so you pick the slots your week allows.
Four black belts on one mat
Classes are led by Marko Jokmanović, a 3rd degree black belt; Emir Delijić, Đorđe Krstajić and Luka Vasić are on the mat with him, so the club has four Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts. The club is an affiliate and partner of the ZR Team association. The competition team regularly wins medals in the Balkans and in Europe, and visiting grapplers are welcome at any class.

Frequently asked questions
- I have never trained, where do I start?
- Come to the no-gi beginners' group on Monday or Wednesday at 19:30, or to any gi class. The coach brings you in gradually, with no sparring until you are ready.
- Do I need a gi for the first class?
- No. For no-gi you come in shorts and a T-shirt, and for the gi group the club lends you a kimono. You buy your own only once you decide to stay.
- How often should I train?
- Two to three times a week is enough for steady progress. Switching between groups is free, so you can come more often.
- Is there an upper age limit?
- The adult groups bring together members of different ages and levels, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu adapts to your body, not the other way round. If you have any doubt about age or health, message us before your first class.
- I am passing through Podgorica, can I drop in?
- Yes, visiting grapplers are welcome at any class. Message us on WhatsApp a day ahead and bring your own gear.
