From the reviews

There's no better place than to train than here at Boon Martial Arts. These guys are awesome! The instructors are great mentors who are very skilled and knowledgeable in the art.

★★★★★ — Duyen, May 2021

I began my martial arts journey in May of 2022, and my life has changed for the better since then. Boon Martial Arts, is the BEST when it comes to quality technique.

★★★★★ — Pablo, Dec 2023

I began taking martial arts at a different studio originally. I enjoyed what I was doing but found myself not feeling challenged so I tried Boon on a whim to see if it was the studio, or maybe I just wasn’t interested. After the first class at Boon I felt the difference. I really enjoy the precision in the instruction.

★★★★★ — Suzanne, Aug 2022

The first class went great! My son is excited to return and learn more. The staff does a great job at explaining everything and getting back with you too. My son is 4 and after the first lesson, he was already remembering what to say during class and some of the moves they taught.

New to BJJ? Start at Boon Martial Arts

Boon Martial Arts 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 Boon Martial Arts

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.
