“My child loves the class.”

From the reviews

It was about a year ago I tried a trial class. If not for my schedule at the time, I'd have had signed up immediately. Sensei Mehlman was incredibly knowledgeable, and kind. In addition to the quality instruction, there is a VERY reasonable price and no contract.

★★★★★ — Michael, Nov 2015

I cant say enough good things about the karate school and the teachers. They are amazing with all the kids. My child loves the class.

★★★★★ — Sadie, Oct 2021

Great school! My son who is shy and was afraid to try any other school, has been super happy here. And he’s learning a lot. Couldn’t be happier.

Your first BJJ class at Beach Martial Arts

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.
