From the reviews
I started here as a completely new person to BJJ back in November 2023. I’ve been training now almost 2 years and having been to other gyms to open mats or training, Coach Thos is by far the most inviting and nicest, laid back guy I’ve met.
Solid fundamentals, emphasis on stand up skills and takedowns, and Jiu Jitsu that matters beyond mere sport. Thos is a very humble, approachable, and experienced professor. Great place to train!
Thos is a very knowledgeable practitioner with lots of competition experience and teaching skills. Very good training environment.
Very nice and friendly place. Currently offering jiujitsu and Muai Thai! Everyone very knowledgeable and welcoming!
Your first BJJ class at BigLick 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.
