From the reviews

Absolutely love the Axiom team! Everyone there is great, from the kids to the adults and the staff. Coach Derrick is an amazing coach and knows how to handle the children well. My three boys 7, 10 and 15 love BJJ and always look forward to getting to class. They’ve learned a lot from Coach Derrick as well as myself.
Coach is very knowledgable and well verserves in the art. Coach is also awsome with the kids and adults. Love all the training techniques. All relevant to today's self protection!
Great investment for kids to learn self defense! The instructor is great with teaching the kids!
New to BJJ? Start at Axiom Jiu-Jitsu and MMA
Axiom Jiu-Jitsu and MMA 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 Axiom Jiu-Jitsu and 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 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.
