From the reviews
I'm far, far from a Jiu-Jitsu expert, but I have had the opportunity to train at multiple gyms in many states. What I have found out is what's much more important than having the best, most experienced instructors is the overall feel of a BJJ gym - are the people friendly? The instructors helpful and caring?
We love Agoge!! They have amazing coaches who aren’t just there to be somewhere. They are patient with the kids and make class fun. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a safe, professional, friendly gym.
I've trained at different gyms in the area, and traveled for work for 4 years dropping into gyms here and there all over the country. I found Agoge through friends I knew who competed against Agoge members in tournaments. I was incredibly impressed by word of mouth and the technique taught at Agoge.
I've been a member at Agoge Combatives for over a year now and couldn't be happier here. The facility is clean and large, all of the instructors are wonderful and the gym has a great culture. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. it's a great community that will push you to be the best version of yourself possible.
New to BJJ? Start at Agoge Combatives - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Krav Maga
Agoge Combatives - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Krav Maga 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 Agoge Combatives - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Krav Maga
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.
