From the reviews
I was searching for a fun and welcoming place for me and my family, and we found exactly that at Binda Jiu Jitsu. From the very beginning, we didn’t just find a school—we became part of the Binda family. Coach Julio is incredibly attentive and makes sure every student truly understands the concepts of each position.
I started at Binda not too long ago with not really knowing what to expect. I was completely blown away by how much fun it was and how much it benefitted me, not only physically, but mentally as well. They provide a free week trial to give it a try but I promise you after one class you'll want to sign up.
Once my daughter turned four, I started looking for an activity to enroll her in. We were considering dance, gymnastics, or martial arts, ultimately choosing Binda. I knew virtually nothing about jiu jitsu prior to this. My child has been enrolled there for a year now, and I can't say enough positive things about it.
My family and I are blessed to be apart of the Binda Jiu Jitsu Team! We enrolled our son about a month ago and couldn’t be happier with our experience so far! We have family members who train at Binda Jiu Jitsu who highly recommended us to them as a great place to train and grow!
New to BJJ? Start at Binda Jiu Jitsu
Binda 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 Binda 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.
