From the reviews
The school was clean and the instructor was inviting. I brought my little brother in for his first ever juijitsu class and we had a blast. The instructor was able to break every technique down into something that was easy to understand for the guy the has one day to the guy that has been training many years.
Jiu jitsu I have been doing martial arts for 44 years I started training with Weston at Back Yard jiu jitsu he is very knowledgeable, his school is very clean and the instruction is detailed.
Backyard Jujitsu has an impressive training environment. Top notch instructor!! If you want to do Jiu Jitsu in La Grande Oregon Backyard Jujitsu is the place to be. Weston is very professional and patient. This place is good for all levels of Jiu Jitsu. The place is clean and nice.
Your first BJJ class at Backyard Jujitsu
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.
