From the reviews
Backyard kickboxing& jiu jitsu-BKJJ has been great! As someone new to the sport, I really appreciate how the class is structured. Coach sam does a nice job teaching in the first half, breaking down techniques.
The gym is kept very clean, and the mats and pads are cleaned after use. Sam is a great instructor and motivator. He doesn't expect you to be the greatest out the gate. He just wants you to be the best you can be. If he sets up a workout, he'll be doing the workout with us.
I have recently started going to Backyard BJJ and Kickboxing for the past week and I absolutely love this place! Walking into the class as someone who doesn’t know anything about kickboxing or grappling was very anxious and nervous about the new environment but I easily adapted to the kind, welcoming, and supportive…
Your first BJJ class at Backyard Kickboxing & Jiu Jitsu - BKJJ
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.
