From the reviews

My son has been going to Bluestarrr for 6 years. He is now a freshman in high school, a varsity wrestler and as a 13 year old could handle himself against grown men. If you have any doubts about the validity of jiujitsu or what it can do for you or your child, come watch.

★★★★★ — Handy, Sep 2023

Blue star grappling has been at changing Grace in my life. My two oldest daughters and I have been going here for approximately four years. Professor Sadiq has so much to offer, in jiu-jitsu and life. All the coaches and team members are wonderful and humble. This is our second home. Would definitely recommend.

★★★★★ — Carlin, Oct 2020

My family & I love Bluestarr! We have been a part of the gym for a little over two years. Coach Sadiq and his team have taught our kids self defense, confidence, teamwork, and have given them a place to make friendships that will last a lifetime. This gym is family orientated and dedicated to hard work!

★★★★★ — Kayla, Jun 2019

Attention parents who are hesitant in placing their kids in Judo classes, hopefully this puts your nerves at ease. Sadiq is AMAZING. He takes his classes very seriously but from the moment you walk in the door it’s all family oriented vibes.

New to BJJ? Start at Bluestarr Grappling - Jiujitsu and Judo

Bluestarr Grappling - Jiujitsu and Judo 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 Bluestarr Grappling - Jiujitsu and Judo

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.

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.
