From the reviews
This is the 3rd academy that my daughter has been in, in the 4 years of her training. I will say, without question, that it is by far the best yet. The training is explained very thoroughly, but not in a way that keeps my ADHD kid bored. She is absorbing so much more, and retaining it!
Juan is one of the best Jiu-Jitsu instructors around. If you are thinking about starting your BJJ journey, check 419 Jiu-Jitsu out!!
The best up and coming BJJ school in Toledo. Juan is THE best jiujitsu instructor in Toledo hands down.
As an owner of a BJJ Academy myself, I've had the pleasure of knowing Juan since we were both White Belts. Juan has been dedicated to the art in all aspects. He has always stood out as a leader and teacher amongst the pack. He is a technical knowledgeable grappler as well as an honest stand up human being.
New to BJJ? Start at 419 Jiu Jitsu
419 Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 419 Jiu Jitsu
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.
