From the reviews
One of my favorite places in the world. In here you will come to know some of the best people you will meet in your lifetime. Everyone in this building is here to develop you into a better jiu jitsu practitioner, competitor, and person as a whole.
I started Jiu Jitsu here a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. The people here truly care about their community and it shows. They really make you feel like you are a part of their family! Nobody will make you feel bad for not getting something right.
I’ve been training here for 6 months and I love this gym. The facility is very clean and recently upgraded to a larger space with brand new mats and strength and conditioning equipment.
Class is ran excellently and filled with prestigious instructors as well as extremely talented people. Nobody is there to bully you but make you a stronger individual each and every time you step on the mats.
New to BJJ? Start at Black Hole Jiu Jitsu CT
Black Hole Jiu Jitsu CT comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Black Hole Jiu Jitsu CT
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.
