From the reviews
As of April 2024, Comprido BJJ is now at 201 E Army Trail Road in Bloomingdale. I have been training at Comprido BJJ since 2018. Comprido and Marcelo are great instructors for all levels. Predominantly GI classes are offered. Night sessions M through TH. Saturday morning also.
Comprido BJJ is like a family. The black belt instructors are wonderful people and highly attentive and they really care for their students. All of the students help each other and care for one another and everyone shares knowledge with each other.
The best BJJ instruction you can find! The coaches are top-level instructors and have their top black belts teaching the kids. So the youth programs get world class coaching along with the adults! My son has been there two years and I take the JKD and Kali/Boxing classes.
I love that not only my son joined, but my daughter wanted to as well when she saw how much fun her brother was having. The location is in Stratford square mall. The studio is clean and the staff is welcoming. They are so great with kids. The coaches don't leave one child out.
New to BJJ? Start at Brasa Comprido BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)
Brasa Comprido BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) 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 Brasa Comprido BJJ (Brazilian 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.
