From the reviews
The fitness classes at Ascended are fantastic. They’re challenging but scalable, so people of all fitness levels feel comfortable. I’ve also taken yoga classes here, and they’re the perfect complement to training.
Highly recommended academy to train at! It’s one of the best places you could ever train. The mats are spotless — easily the cleanest you’ll ever roll on.

I've been training at Ascended Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Yoga for a few months and love everything about it. The instructors are knowledgeable and always encouraging, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, and the facilities are clean and well maintained.
My whole family takes classes here and we love it! Very supportive community atmosphere in a beautiful new facility. Lovely owners make you feel like family. All the instructors are incredibly skilled technically, but also do a great job customizing classes to benefit each individual student.
New to BJJ? Start at Ascended Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Yoga
Ascended Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Yoga comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Ascended Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Yoga
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.
