From the reviews
The perfect family friendly jiu-jitsu academy! The instructors are great with children and my daughter loves going to class. They are extremely well versed in the art of jiu-jitsu. We have had classes with all the instructors and they are all very kind. I can’t recommend this place enough.
A Force BJJ is the best gym I’ve been to. I have been training for 2.5 years so far and came here after a year of training. The instructors are incredible with an extreme level of detail with providing individualized training. They are amazing, as well as all the other people who come here.
Put my daughter in A-force BJJ since 3 and she is now 4. It’s her absolute fave activity and now mine as well. She loves the professor’s like family. They have helped her grow into an emotionally, mentally, and physically stronger little girl.
I highly recommend A-force for anyone interested in learning jiu jitsu. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about BJJ. They create a supportive and welcoming environment for students of all skill levels and ages.
New to BJJ? Start at A-Force Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy - East Northport
A-Force Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy - East Northport 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 A-Force Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy - East Northport
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.
