From the reviews
Coach Brach is an excellent coach and his gym and the community he build is amazing. I have trained here for almost 4 and half years and the knowledge I have gained is unbelievable. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and you will learn ju jitsu and so much more!
Top-notch Academy! If you’re looking to get into MMA, this is the spot! Ken is such an amazing instructor. He makes class not only extremely knowledgeable, but very fun at the same time! All of the members have been more than welcoming, and I really look forward to making this academy my second home!

Really good environment. I’m an older guy and was looking for a place to learn . Checked out a couple other schools that seemed more focused on trying to create the next UFC champion.
New to BJJ? Start at Brach's MMA, Llc
Brach's MMA, 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 Brach's MMA, 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.
