From the reviews
I’ve been training here since November 2022.. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming.. The instructors are some of the best jiu jitsu athletes in the world and are super knowledgeable.. There’s no pressure to compete but if you want to everyone hypes you up.. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to be..
I can’t say enough great things about Adamas! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed into a supportive and friendly environment. The instructors are top-notch, with an incredible depth of knowledge and a clear passion for teaching.
Top level instruction. World Champion Cadre of instructors. Welcoming atmosphere. My son started here four years ago, and was slow to warm up to the idea of Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are patient and encouraging, they keep the training fun. The growth in his confidence has been astounding.
As an older athlete I was a little hesitant to jump into a martial art I knew very little about. I’ve now been training here for almost 3 years and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It doesn’t matter what age, level of athleticism or fitness, or if you’re a man or woman. Everyone is welcome here.
New to BJJ? Start at Adamas Jiu Jitsu Academy
Adamas Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Adamas Jiu Jitsu 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.
