From the reviews

Tigers class is great! They have a great focus on personal growth and care for each one of thier students I've been attending adult classes for about a year and have been impressed with how the information delivered is tailored to the students.

★★★★★ — Derek, Apr 2022

Our kids have been coming for several months now and we have been incredibly pleased with Mr. Booth and the way he runs this program. He is wonderful with the kids, highly encouraging and operates with a high level of discipline and accountability for the kids.

★★★★★ — Casey, Nov 2019

Great place to train kids and adults. They promote the discipline of the body and the mind. My kids love to train and when I have time I can train with them. I can also go to the adult class too. It is the best of both worlds for me.

★★★★★ — Bryce, Feb 2018

My husband and son both take Taèkwondo from Booth’s ATA. And my daughter takes and is also a instructor. Booths are open and willing to help everyone. :) We have been going for 5 years now! And have been happy with it.

New to BJJ? Start at Booth's ATA Martial Arts

Booth's ATA 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 Booth's ATA 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.
