From the reviews
Best Jiu Jitsu & MMA gym in the world. Dayne is not only a WORLD CLASS Instructor, but the gym is well managed by Amy and the community there is 2nd to none. I love it there and I am forever grateful to Dayne and Amy for changing my life.
My 8 year old and 5 year old daughters have been attending for a year. The coaches and owners are excellent. They are aware of each student's needs and helps them feel accomplished. We went to trials of various martial arts gyms. Others were either not kid friendly or were too militant.
Great gym. We train hard and have fun. Coaches are uplifting, knowledgeable, and care about helping you reach your goals. If you want to compete in MMA or jiujitsu, they know what they are doing! They take women fighters seriously and are a safe place to train. The mats are like clouds.
Excellent gym with a great training culture. The coaches bring tons of experience and always push you to improve. Whether you’re training for MMA or Jiu-Jitsu, or just looking to grow your skills, this is the place to be. Highly recommend to anyone serious about improving their skills!
New to BJJ? Start at Agema Jiu Jitsu and MMA
Agema Jiu Jitsu and MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Agema Jiu Jitsu and MMA
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.
