From the reviews

I’ve been training at Ashland Jiu Jitsu Academy for many years, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing classes are both top notch, with instructors who are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve, no matter their experience level.

★★★★★ — Michael, Jul 2026

I checked out the kickboxing class when I was visiting the area and had a great time! The folks were all super welcoming and friendly. The instructor Ash was knowledgeable and explained things well, so it felt safe to jump in with some contact drills. I would highly recommend!

Your first BJJ class at Ashland Jiu-jitsu Academy

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
