From the reviews
Just a wonderful team of instructors! We had a introductory course in Women's Self Defense for our international students at TTU & the staff was so kind to all of us. We all really appreciated the time that each instructor took to answer questions and demonstrate the proper techniques for different scenarios.
Dropped in for a class and was impressed. Very welcoming and excellent instruction. Highly recommend!
Instructors are very professional and courteous, they take the time to answer questions and ease any concerns you might have... The studio is very clean . Took my son in and done a class, he liked it..We will now be repeat customers! Give this place a try..they are amazing!
The second I walked in here I felt welcome and like I was wanted back! Very helpful with teaching techniques during live rolling and super good for people just getting started. They also have kind high level grapplers! I give this place a 10 !
Your first BJJ class at Alpha 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.
