From the reviews
My 2 kids and I both train here. My kids love the professors and look forward to training at the academy. I can see the growth in confidence, respect and social skills as my kids continue to train.
I would like to recommend A Force BJJ Academy to everyone who want to improve their physical condition. I am a 64 year old man who started training seriously last year with A Force, and now I am very happy with the result. I enjoy the mental aspect of the training as well. It really make me strong mentally.
Want to make great friends, get in great shape, and learn how to defend yourself than Aforce is the place for you. I walked in 2.5 years ago and it was the best choice I ever made. Learn from world class Professor Andre, Alex, and Ryan.
I highly recommend A-Force BJJ for all children and adults who are interested in either learning Jiu Jitsu, or advancing their skills. The facility is brand new and clean, and all of the professors are world class practitioners of the sport, who do a fantastic job providing instruction in a clear, warm, and friendly…
New to BJJ? Start at A-Force Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy - Port Washington
A-Force Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy - Port Washington 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 - Port Washington
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.
