From the reviews
Asylum has great programs for kids and adults. The atmosphere is friendly and the facility is spotless. It is a safe place to bring your family with quality instructors and safe training partners. My kids love it.
Excellent gym with skilled coaches and a fantastic atmosphere. My kids have gained confidence and grown a lot here, and I always leave feeling challenged and supported. Great place for all levels
Great place. I’ve known the owner and coach for a long time, and there aren’t many people more passionate about what they do. Adult classes and kids classes are both excellent, and it won’t be long before there are so many people here that they’ll need to move to a bigger place.
Asylum Jiu Jitsu is the best! Owner Will and the coaching staff are incredible. They are professional, patient, and highly skilled. Three of my kids attend classes here and we absolutely love the positive, welcoming atmosphere.
New to BJJ? Start at Asylum Jiu-Jitsu
Asylum Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Asylum 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. 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.
