From the reviews
Starting training at 570 Jiu Jitsu was one of the best decisions I have made. Scott has created an excellent school with a variety of ever-growing programs that is accessible for everyone. As an older beginner with no experience I have gained immense personal confidence and solid knowledge of the art.
One of my best decisions was walking into 570 Jiu-Jitsu gym. I was very apprehensive as I had never done a martial art or even wrestled in high school. I couldn’t have gone into a more welcoming gym. Everyone that is there is happy to help you grow in the art and that all starts with Coach Scott’s leadership.
Absolutely amazing experience at 570 Jiu Jitsu! The instructors are incredibly skilled and patient, taking the time to break down each technique for all levels of students. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it a perfect place for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Absolutely incredible gym with a wonderful community and excellent coaching. Coach Scott has brought an exceptional program that lends itself to any skill level. My kids are in the children’s class and they love it.
New to BJJ? Start at 570 Jiu Jitsu
570 Jiu Jitsu 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 570 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.
