★★★★★ — Full, Jan 2023

A fantastic place to go for beginners. It was nothing but respect when I attended the classes. The owner has students underneath him that I had more one on one time with, more than willing to discuss the sport into detail. Overall a great place to go and affordable.

I’ve been training with Seth for years. Boa BJJ has some of the best instruction going on for Jiu Jitsu in Schuylkill County. They also offer striking classes too!! For the price they offer you can’t beat it.

Whether you’re a local looking to start your jiu jitsu journey, or a traveler in the area looking for some drop-in rolls, you can’t find a better gym in Schuylkill County. Biggest mat space, most class offerings, and easygoing members! Their Facebook lists their daily class schedule for bjj and muay thai.

New to BJJ? Start at Boa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu LLC

Boa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu LLC 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 Boa Brazilian Jiu Jitsu LLC

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.
