From the reviews
Where do I begin? These guys welcomed me with open arms. I was just passing thru the area, and they knew it upfront- they had no reason to invest a modicum of energy and/or attention into me. I've been at gyms before where people do not care about you whatsoever unless they think you'll be there for life.
I had an amazing experience at Adamson Bros Jiu Jitsu. I moved to Astoria just for the summer and was having a hard time meeting people, but I found a truly fantastic community here. The environment was welcoming from day one, and I got a chance to meet some amazing people!
Awesome atmosphere. Good vibes. Amazing people. My son has been taking classes at Adamson Bro’s for a couple years now and has been competing for about a year. Through competing he has made friendships/connections that will last a lifetime. I have seen incredible growth across the board with Mason.
Coach Gage is awesome, he is the perfect mix of building my boys up but not making it too easy. I have one son who has a hard time losing and coach Gage is great at encouraging and having high expectations but also sensitive to not push them so hard they lose confidence or desire.
New to BJJ? Start at Adamson Bros Jiu Jitsu Academy
Adamson Bros 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 Adamson Bros 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.
