From the reviews
Highly recommended place to train! Instructors are highly motivated and well trained. Study here if you truly love the art and wish to expand your own knowledge.
Great gym and great coaches. They've given my son loads of confidence and convinced him to push himself beyond what he thought was possible. I recommend this gym to anybody I can tell. Everybody is really nice when they tap me out as well!
Great place to train! The owner was approachable and courteous from the moment I step through the door my first day. Very family oriented establishment; the additional coaches and students accepted my son and I immediately. This establishment is like our second home.
You want to be trained to be the best? This is the place! My kids LOVE the gym and love going to class! The instructors truly care about my kids! My husband trains there 5 days a week and it is such a family friendly gym! I train there myself and every time I go, I leave feeling empowered and STRONG!
New to BJJ? Start at Alpha MMA/RCBJJ Lawton
Alpha MMA/RCBJJ Lawton 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 Alpha MMA/RCBJJ Lawton
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.
