From the reviews
My son has been training at C-Quence Jiu-Jitsu since 2016. I have only great things to say about my personal experience here at C-Quence. John Muñoz and his family are very professional and knowledgeable in training students from all ages. John has coached and trained champions from different arenas in the MMA world.
I've been a member of Cquence Jiu Jitsu (sometimes referred to by CQ BJJ) for a few years now. Recently a friend who was a member of an out of town JJ school gave me a call and was thinking about switching to C-quence ( for some reason NOT spelled Sequence! ).
Best jiu-jitsu, MMA, grappling and striking instruction in the Inland Empire at the best prices! John and his wife understand that everyone who comes through the doors come for different reasons; whether it's just to do a new activity to get in or stay in shape, learn self defense, compete in grappling tournaments or…
Hands down the best BJJ gym in the Inland empire, highly recommended! The coaches at C-Quence are very attentive, family oriented & make you feel right at home all whilst teaching the best self defense skills. My favorite classes are the all women’s jiu-jitsu class, no-gi & striking class.
New to BJJ? Start at C-Quence Jiu-Jitsu
C-Quence 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 C-Quence 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.
