From the reviews

My daughter trains at 99/1 in Kingston and the coaches are fantastic. She has learned more discipline and her self esteem has improved. I can't wait for Coxsackie to open, it's so much closer!

★★★★★ — Darlene, Jan 2015

What can I say about 99/1 BJJ Academy Coxsackie? First off it is awesome. The people who train there are warm and inviting. When you walk in the door you are welcomed and made to feel like part of the team. The training you receive at 99/1 is second to none.

★★★★★ — Larry, Oct 2018

Excellent place to train for all ages! Professor Nolan is top notch and he goes above & beyond for his students. Everyone here is welcoming and treats you like family. Come give it a try and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Your first BJJ class at 99/1 BJJ Academy

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
