From the reviews
Brown's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great place to train in BJJ! My sons and I have been training here for over a year. Have learned a lot compared to other schools and I feel way more confident in my ground fighting and health.
I am blown away time and time again by the kindness and devotion shown by the Brown's BJJ family. My kids love it. I absolutely recommend to anyone interested in trying martial arts.
Great environment and pleasant people. If you are new, drop into the fundamentals class and enjoy. If you are experienced, contact the coaches and let them know. This school is accommodating and welcoming.
I came to an open mat while traveling for work. Everyone was friendly and welcomed me into the mat. It's a good group of people with a good level of skill. I hope to come back again.
Your first BJJ class at Brown’s 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.
