An Unforgettable Experience at Bully Jiu-Jitsu I had the amazing opportunity to train at Bully Jiu-Jitsu while staying in the U.S. as the owner’s exchange student from Austria, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life.

★★★★★ — Isabella, Nov 2025

I’m an out of state purple belt who stopped in Bully Jiu Jitsu while visiting family. They have some outstanding jiu jitsu practitioners. All the members were friendly guys and gals who really gave safe and effective rolls. The owner Josh was very approachable and made me feel welcome.

Your first BJJ class at Bully 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.

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.
