From the reviews

PLEASE READ! I've been training BJJ for over 4 years now. I am a 32 year old blue belt (on the cusp of purple). I've been to several tournaments (won some gold and bronze, lost some too). I've trained at several gyms (due to moving) and this is by far the best I've been to.

★★★★★ — Joshua, Jan 2025

My son and I started training here about 3 months ago really love the place. Brad is an awesome instructor and a person of great influence for a child or an adult. This place is a very positive influence in our lives.

★★★★★ — Rusty, Jun 2024

Brad is an awesome guy and explains the techniques to a T!!! I love stopping in and visiting this gym because I learn something new every time and it’s one thing that keeps my jiu jitsu journey alive. Stop in and hangout with everyone and I guarantee you will leave feeling that 1% better immediately.

★★★★★ — Dustin, Oct 2023

This is the best gym I have ever trained at, hands down! Brad is an incredible instructor who is extremely patient with all his students. I cannot recommend this gym enough; it is an amazing place to train, regardless of your experience level.

New to BJJ? Start at Burdette Jiu Jitsu

Burdette 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 Burdette 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.
