From the reviews

If you’re looking for a place to train or take your kids to train Brazilian Jiujitsu I highly recommend this place. Anthony is one of the best instructors I ever had the privilege of learning from. Anthony and his wife Aimee are very friendly and will make you feel right at home from the start.

★★★★★ — Aaron, Aug 2022

For years we wished for a safe, clean, respectable gym for our family (kids & adult) to learn quality Brazilian JiuJitsu in the Bitterroot. We’ve been training here for nearly 2 years now, & could not have hoped for a better place. The people, values, & instruction are incomparable.

★★★★★ — Cait, Sep 2024

I'm new to Jiu Jitsu, but I have tried to approach it with other gyms, and NONE of those made me appreciate the art the way Bitterroot BJJ does. I'm excited to learn, and I know every time I have a question, Anthony will be right there to answer (and usually demonstrate!) so that I can get it right.

Your first BJJ class at Bitterroot BJJ

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. 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.
