I've been with Coach Joseph for almost 3 years, and he is absolutely a phenomenal coach! His ability to teach kickboxing and MMA is remarkable. He truly cares about each of his students and treats them all like family.

★★★★★ — Thomas, Dec 2024

I attended kickboxing with Coach Joseph over the summer and I had a blast! Everyone there was very welcoming and was always encouraging each other to reach high goals. I also had the opportunity to sit in on Coach Able’s classes and saw how he taught the grapplers to be great stand up and ground fighters.

★★★★★ — Kezia, Aug 2024

Aztec grappling academy is a one of a kind martial arts academy. I have learned so much from all three coach’s. Coach able in wrestling, coach Ken and coach Joseph in jiu jitsu, but most of all I have gained a lot of knowledge from coach Joseph in kickboxing, he really takes the time to teach his students, I respect…

New to BJJ? Start at Aztec Grappling Academy

Aztec Grappling Academy 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 Aztec Grappling 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.
