From the reviews

Very impressive academy! I would highly recommend this instructor! As a practioner of Jujitsu in another state, I was curious about how other schools operate, function, respond to outsiders, customer/ teacher/ student behavior .

★★★★★ — Wade, Feb 2016

I've been training at FLVBJJ school for a while now and during that time I have been treated with respect and as a teammate. FLVBJJ school is a great place for anyone looking for physical fitness, self defense, or competition training.

★★★★★ — Hicham, Nov 2013

Not only is FLVBJJ a great place to learn for people just starting out in Jiu-Jitsu; it is great for people who have had some level of training and are looking to get their BJJ to the next level. Fernando offers instruction for beginners as well as people looking to compete at high levels of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

★★★★★ — Ahmed, Dec 2013

I have been training with Professor Vera for about 8 months now and I love it!!!!!! As a black belt he is very active in competing in BJJ tournaments as well as giving top notch instruction to his students. The class is very well ran going from warm ups to instruction and drilling to sparring.

New to BJJ? Start at ATOS JIU JITSU Of CHARLOTTE

ATOS JIU JITSU Of CHARLOTTE 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 ATOS JIU JITSU Of CHARLOTTE

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.
