From the reviews
The gold is in the details, Jason provided in-depth detail. A friendly, fun, and safe environment to learn new skills. I feel more confident with my ability to defend myself and my family if the situation warrants it. Anyone even thinking about learning jiu jitsu should stop by and take a free trial run.
BABJJ is an incredible place to learn jiu jitsu. Having dropped in to other gyms in other states while traveling, it’s clear that BABJJs instructor is top notch in not only the material that he teaches but the manner in which he teaches is. Along with great material, you find a better environment to walk into.
Jason is a tried and true competitor in the sport and martial art of Jiu Jitsu and an all around great person. He also runs a very smooth and unique curriculum that is great for the beginner and also advanced practitioner. There a many places to do BJJ in Nebraska, yet very few are as good as what he has to offer here!
This school is amazing. The professor is awesome, attentive , and knowledgeable. The teammates are great. I highly reccomend this school.
New to BJJ? Start at Bellevue Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Bellevue Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Bellevue Academy of Brazilian 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.
