From the reviews
There's jiu jitsu, and then there's Braga Jiu-jitsu. This isn't some cookie cutter gym where you're just a number. When you become part of the team, you become family. This place has taken my jiu-jitsu passion and career farther than I ever expected.
No ordinary jiu-jitsu academy. Professor Jerbo and the rest of Team Braga have become like a second family. It's been five years so far, and my two kids can't imagine training anywhere else or with anyone else. I can't thank Jerbo and the rest of the Team enough.
Stared 3 weeks ago with by teenage sons. We love it. My oldest is autistic (high functioning), he does the Muay Thai class and fits right in. Me and my 13 yr old do the BJJ class. If we are struggling with something, the more experienced step in to help. I never feel out of place, they make you feel like family.
Love coming here, I try to come every day and classes are amazing, there’s a lot to learn and it’s all at a great pace. Each time I go there’s always a new move, some review, and at the end of the day we got it down. There's always a great vibe and everyone’s really helpful and pushes you to do better.
Your first BJJ class at BRAGA JIU-JITSU
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.
