From the reviews
🌟 **Amazing Jiu-Jitsu Class!** 🌟 I just finished my jiu-jitsu class, and I couldn't be more thrilled! 🥋 The instructor is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making it perfect for both beginners and advanced students. The atmosphere is friendly and supportive, which really helps boost confidence.
My son has been going to AKS for a little over a year now and his skill level has increased significantly. He loves coming to jiu-jitsu and kickboxing! Coach Nick is outstanding with the kids and making sure they get their skills and making it fun! Thanks Coach Nick!
This place is excellent for all ages. Coach Nick is amazing with kids and very understanding of their capabilities to work with them individually. We are happy to be Team AKS.
Was looking for a structured yet fun sport for my 8 yr old. After researching many options we decided to take advantage of the complimentary class and check out Affinity. Coach Nic made us feel welcome from the minute we walked in. He is truly an amazing teacher. Fun, and engaging, but also keeps the kids on task.
New to BJJ? Start at AKS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Affinity Kickboxing Studio
AKS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Affinity Kickboxing Studio 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 AKS Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Affinity Kickboxing Studio
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.
