Which membership do you choose?

 you’re stuck with us for a year, after which you can cancel your membership monthly.

MARTIAL ARTS FLEX
a little more expensive but a lot more flexible, this membership can be canceled monthly.

15x ENTRY (buy it here)
15x entry to a sport in the passe-partout, to be used within 6 months.

Making a reservation and checking in

  • You need a reservation for every visit to USC.
  • Book a training using the booking button above or via this martial arts page.
  • You can make a reservation 6 days in advance.
  • You can have 3 active reservations for the upcoming 6 days. But as soon as your first reservation is over, you can make a new one. So, you can work out more than 3x a week (if there are free spots)!
  • You can choose how you enter USC: by using the finger scan or by using the My USC Amsterdam app. Download the app: Android and iOS.

Cancelling and no show fee

Booked a class, but can’t make it? Please cancel in advance.

  • Cancel up to one hour before the start of your reservation (but earlier is encouraged!).
  • Are you not cancelling (on time)? Then you risk a no show fee of €3,-.
  • Are you not paying the no show fee? In that case you can’t make a reservation/work out for 2 weeks.
  • Your no show fee doesn’t end up on the big USC company pile. Check in which sports goal we’re investing the no show fee income.

What do you learn from it?

You learn how to fight on the ground with a BJJ suit on. This means that you’ll learn how to react if somebody grabs your clothing. This is different from MMA classes: there are no grips on clothing allowed.

Goals

During BJJ trainings there are multiple goals:

  • Firstly, you learn how to defend yourself while being in a fight on the ground. All this being in a safe environment without macho behaviour.
  • Instead of with judo, there will be relatively little focus on throwing while standing on your feet.
  • At BJJ you learn how to take your opponent down while being on the ground. From there, you’ll go into controlled strangulations.

Personal development

By attending BJJ trainings, you can develop yourself on a personal level too. For example by:

  • increasing your confidence;
  • being more comfortable when somebody approaches you physically;
  • maybe experience a match under guidance at a later stage.

USC instructors

Daan van Schaijk teaches at USC for quite some time already. In 2018, Daan became European Champion Master 3 blue belt!

Wear and gear

  • For the first (trial) training loose sports wear will do.
  • After that a kimono/gi is obligatory. A regular judo suit is fine. Judo/jiu jitsu suits are for sale at the sports desk.
