From the reviews
When you join 305 grappling you don’t just get to learn jiujitsu, you join a family on these mats. The culture that Coach Marcelo has created here really makes anyone feel welcome to train. As a woman I can say the transition to training with this group has been excellent.
Great coach and mentor on and off the mats ! This school is awesome. If you don’t know anything it will be taught with no hesitation. Everyone here is friendly and ready to teach. This team feels like family !
I was in Miami for a month and wanted to keep up my training. I checked out 305 Grappling based on the great reviews—and the easy parking—and it completely exceeded my expectations. The community here is on another level.
I've been training at 305 Jiu Jitsu Gym since day one, and I can confidently say it's been an incredible journey. The instruction I've received from the source has been top-notch, and I've seen significant improvements in my technique and overall game.
New to BJJ? Start at 305 Grappling
305 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 305 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. 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.
