I was actually originally looking for a local Judo school and in my search came across Boca Jujutsu. I liked what I saw and stopped by the school to meet Shihan Wood. He was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable and he invited me to try a class out.

★★★★★ — Daniel, Jun 2021

Forget standing in rows and punching the air...at Boca Ju Jutsu you know the techniques work because you practice them on an actual human. Learn to use your opponent’s size and momentum in your favor. This is not a competition. It’s real-world self defense built for the street.

★★★★★ — Natalie, Feb 2018

Last time I was in Boca Raton I was looking for a place to train and found this dojo. Not only did the instructor and the students make me feel welcome but the mats and equipment were top of the line. I really enjoyed myself and definitely will go back next time I'm in Boca.

New to BJJ? Start at Boca School of Ju Jutsu and Judo

Boca School of Ju Jutsu and Judo comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Boca School of Ju Jutsu 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.
