Affiliated academy — reviews and the gym's own info point to a recognized BJJ lineage or affiliation (think Gracie Barra, 10th Planet, Renzo Gracie, Alliance, Atos or Checkmat). If lineage matters to you, ask which affiliation the academy belongs to and under whom the head instructor earned their black belt.

What members say
“Great instructors and gym.”
“They are also a Haven Jiu Jitsu affiliate which means when you train there you are training under a giant jiu jitsu family whose main goal is to make you better at grappling.”

From the reviews
Amazing people ! Great place to learn from day one till how many years you have under you belt ! I would definitely recommend coming out . Try it out and see how fast you will see this is not just a gym but a family.
This is a great place to train. The coaches and students are very knowledgeable and friendly. I've trained at a few different places before and there is something different about the environment at this school. You'll feel at home from the first day you walk in the door.
A local grappling tournament was closed down last minute and Zac, the owner here, offered to host us all here for free. Great gym with plenty of space, thanks Zac
Nothing but good things to say about this gym. Training partners are awesome and coaches are down to earth with their students best intrests in mind.
Your first BJJ class at Auburn Elite Jiu Jitsu & MMA
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.
