From the reviews
Went and stepped out of my element today and tried something new. These guys were great, and I recommend it as a great place to learn and practice BJJ. My old friend convinced me to do it 😂. In short, you get to learn from polished martial artist and have fun when doing so.
I shared this with the coach but thought it was relevant for parents considering Jiu jitsu. I was a little nervous when we signed my son up for jujitsu. I didn’t know if he would be ready with his autism diagnosis at 6 years old. I must say from the first class it has done this momma’s heart good.
I was in NO for Vacation with my Wife. I found Nola Westbank on google and they had a 6AM class. This let me get some training in and get back before breakfast with the wife. Perfect!!!!! Left a vmail got a text back welcoming me almost immediately. Great guys, great jujitsu. Thanks for for the hospitality.
In town for a week and these guys were soo welcoming. This team is awesome. Reminded me of home! I wish I had found them earlier in my stay bc I would have tried to squeeze in a few more classes. You all have an open invitation to AMAG if you're ever in MD. Thank you for a great gi and fire kick boxing class.
Your first BJJ class at BJJ Westbank
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.
