From the reviews
I was Luke Yox's high school bully not "Kyle" he acts like I don't know he means me. I am afraid he will surpass me in physical superiority since he enrolled in classes here.
Fantastic gym. Logan and Matt are both great instructors who also compete at the highest levels. Very welcoming atmosphere, lots of great people and always kept very clean. Class is always structured in a way that makes sense week to week, and helps you build great fundamentals if you are a beginner.
If you want to start (or continue) learning Jiu-Jitsu please give these guys a look. Great group and the owners are some of the best people you will ever come across.
150 Grappling is a great place to learn and continue Jiu Jitsu. Matt Malone and Logan Yox are tremendous instructors. The facility is awesome!!
New to BJJ? Start at 150 Grappling
150 Grappling comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at 150 Grappling
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
