From the reviews
Clean, welcoming, family environment, easy enrollment, affordable prices. I bring my 6 yr & 14 yr old to Apex. It was an easy sign up process (no enrollment fees, purchase classes in bulk because it fit our schedule), Apex answered all my questions promptly. Ryan, Jason, Rey make communication very easy.

Every time I return to Merced to visit family, I make it a point to drop by this incredible jiu-jitsu club for classes, and let me tell you, it's become an essential part of my visits! Growing up in Merced and still having family here, this club has been an unexpected gem that I've come to look forward to!

Your first BJJ class at Apex Jiu Jitsu Club
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.
