From the reviews
Have spent many enjoyable years at this dojo. Throughout my time I have made many friends and many great memories. I earned my black belt training under Master Shawn and then started to take my oldest daughter for classes when she was old enough.
This dojo has brightened my life so much! You learn so many styles of martial arts, and its so affordable! Master Shawn truly cares more about teaching the students self defense and respect than making a profit. It's one of the main reasons why I joined. And you don't just join a dojo, you join a family.
Your first BJJ class at American Colleges Of Kombido
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.
