From the reviews
This is a great place for kids and adults. My son (age 5) attends the kids classes at least 3 times a week. This has help build confidence and skill in just a couple of weeks. The other kids in the class are kind and respectful. They also are very welcoming to new students. The adult classes are great as well.
When you learn from Adam you are getting authentic Brazilian jiu-jitsu passed down directly from the founding Gracie's. Welcoming environment for adults and children. My boys and I are long time students and feel lucky to have a place like this in our area.
I was traveling through the area on business and dropped in for a class. Adam and his team are top notch and it was a great class. If your passing through or live in the area and want to learn BJJ I highly recommend checking this place out.
Adam Arebalo is the GOAT. My entire family (5) attends. This is a high level Jiu Jitsu school that not only has an elite adult program, but also has a phenomenal children’s program. 🫡
Your first BJJ class at Arebalo Jiu Jitsu
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.
