Is This You

You Can Start
With Zero Experience.

You do not need to get in shape first or know what happens in class. Your first two weeks give you a structured start with clear coaching.

Common questions before day one:

Why Other Options Fail

You've Probably Tried
Some of This Already.

Most people who end up here have already tried the obvious stuff. It usually goes like this:

The regular gym. You went for a few weeks, got bored, your back hurt, you stopped. Lifting weights without a reason gets old fast. Running gets old faster. Neither one teaches you a single thing about your body that you didn't already know.

Group fitness classes. Fine for a workout, terrible for actually learning anything. You leave sweaty. You don't leave with a skill.

Watching jiu jitsu online. You've watched hours of it and not one of those minutes will help you in a live round. You can't learn this from a screen. You can pretend to, but the second somebody is actually trying to choke you it stops being theoretical.

Tried a gym once, didn't go back. The coaching was vague and nobody explained what to do. A structured start makes the difference.

All of those things fail for the same reason. None of them were fun, and you weren't getting better at anything you actually cared about. That's it. That's the whole reason.

Who This Is For

Two Kinds of People
Walk Through This Door.

Basin is built for two people. They want different things from training, but the club works for both.

Person One

You've Never Done This Before.

You want a real skill and a hard workout without getting punched in the face. You get a clear explanation before training starts, a partner who knows you are new, and coaching through your first live rounds.

Person Two

You Already Train.

You know what good coaching looks like. You get sharp rounds, direct feedback, and the freedom to cross-train wherever you want.

How It Works

What's Actually Happening
On The Mats.

Most gyms get one or two of the things below right. Almost none get all of them in the same place. There's no secret method. Just a handful of things done well, every class, every week.

  1. 01
    Live Rounds From Day One. Every class includes you using the technique on a partner who's actively trying to stop you. Not drilling it. Using it. That's how you learn anything physical. Under pressure, against resistance, the same class you saw it. If you've ever done six weeks of "fundamentals" without a live round, you know how that ends. It ends with you not coming back.
  2. 02
    Workshops, Not Sermons. Class is run like a workshop. One concept, broken down clearly, with the why behind it. Multiple voices on the mats. Questions are good. Stopping mid-roll to fix something is good. There's no "shut up and bow, the master is talking." You're an adult paying for a service. You get coached like one.
  3. 03
    Coaching That Actually Sees You. The classes stay small on purpose. Coaches actually see you. Habits get caught early. Nobody slips through. Your progress gets tracked over time. You're not a name on a sign-in sheet, and you're not learning by overhearing what someone else got told.
  4. 04
    Cross-Training Is Encouraged. Train wherever you want. Visit other gyms. Go to seminars. Roll with whoever. Nobody tracks where you train on your off days. The work speaks for itself or it doesn't.
  5. 05
    Everything Lives in the App. The app lets you sign your waiver, set up your membership, check the class schedule, check in, get gym updates, and track your training in one place.

Who's Running This

The Coach.

Quick context, because you should know who's coaching you.

Canaan Frederick, brown belt, founder of Basin Jiu Jitsu

Canaan Frederick. I started training in 2019, a few months after my father passed. I needed something hard to do. Something that asked everything of me and gave me a way to be in my body instead of my head. Seven years later I haven't stopped.

I've had the pleasure of training under some amazing coaches. Tim Credeur, Jules Bruchez, Josh Artigue, and Heath Henry. I also spent 2022 and 2023 training at Easton in Denver and the surrounding areas, which was an incredible experience, and I came home better for it. I've competed here and there, but I've always had a deeper love for the daily training.

I started coaching in mid-2024 with a class of 3 to 5 year olds. Everyone warned me it would be brutal but it was the opposite. The kids loved me, I loved them, and somewhere in the middle of all that I figured out I was built for this. I took on adult fundamentals shortly after, with everyone from total beginners to a 70-something-year-old in his first gi. The thing people kept telling me was that they actually understood what was being taught, and that stuck.

I'm building Basin with my brother Caleb and my wife Sophia. Breaux Bridge is home, and it deserves a space of this caliber.

Questions

Real Questions,
Real Answers.

I'm not in shape. Should I get in shape first?
No. That's the whole trap. People wait until they're "ready" and never start. Jiu jitsu is the workout. You'll be in better shape in two months than you would be running on a treadmill for six. Show up at whatever shape you're in. The class handles it.
I've never done anything like this. Will I look stupid?
The free two weeks are built for beginners. You get clear instructions, a partner who knows you are new, and a coach watching your first rounds. You are not thrown into class without an explanation.
What's the time commitment?
Most people who get serious do two or three classes a week. Some do one. Some do all of them plus open mat. There's no required schedule. You come when you can come, and the schedule is in the app so you can check what's running before you head in.
I'm worried about getting injured.
Reasonable. There is no striking, you tap when something is too much, and the round resets. You will get sore. You will not get punched in the face. Reckless training is not accepted.
I tried a gym before and didn't like it. Why is this different?
The coaching is direct, cross-training is welcome, and there is no bowing or required title for the coach. The focus stays on technique and live training.
What if I can't keep up?
You won't, on day one. Nobody does. The first three weeks of jiu jitsu feel like learning to drive in a foreign country. Then it clicks, and you start seeing the shape of what's actually happening. Stick around for a month before you decide whether you can do this. You can.
Can I train before committing to a membership?
Yes. Free 2 week trial. No contract. If it is for you, the founding member rate is $125/month. Your rate never goes up, and you can cancel anytime.
What makes Basin different from other gyms?
You get clear workshops, live rounds from day one, small classes, and direct feedback. Cross-training is welcome. There is no bowing, joining fee, or contract.
