From the reviews
This is the beginning of my Jiu Jitsu journey and I’m very happy it started at Battles. I love the environment there and the sense of community. Weather you are currently training somewhere else or you have yet to step on the mat I wouldn’t hesitate to give Battles a try.
Battles Jiu Jitsu is a great gym run by Jared and Brianna. They’ve built an awesome place that is welcoming, family-oriented, and full of good people. I train at the Tuesday and Thursday 6:00 AM classes and always enjoy it. Jared is a great instructor, and I’ve learned a lot from him and the rest of the 6:00 AM crew.
Moving to a new state, I really missed my family from my old academy. From the first time meeting Jared and Bri, I knew I had found a new family. Their professionalism, personalities, and commitment to the academy and the families are always evident.
I feel incredibly lucky to have started my jiu jitsu journey with Battles. The facility is outstanding, the instruction is truly top-notch, and the people are welcoming and supportive. I couldn't have asked for a better environment for both my kids and me.
New to BJJ? Start at Battles Jiu Jitsu
Battles Jiu Jitsu 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 Battles Jiu Jitsu
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.
