The classes they run
“As a woman, finding a gi that actually fits is extremely challenging- after toro came out with the womens gis, my toro gi is the only one I like to wear now.”
“I prefer their Gis and No-Gi kits over the larger Gi companies at this point, because I know that I will get a super high quality customization from people that are happy to do it.”
“Went to the GLOSS women's holiday open mat and had a great time!”

From the reviews
As a lifelong martial artist of over 38 years, I would highly recommend Cageside and Toro Cup without reservation! Amazing group! Martial artist themselves, with a passion for delivering world-class customer service and experience on and off the mat! Look no further for all of your Martial Arts needs!
If you’re looking for BJJ & MMA gear, street clothes, shorts, or GYM bags this is the place. Always pleased with the gear and the service is awesome. The employees are very friendly and answer every question I’ve had. The deals are great you seriously won’t find better prices or better gear anywhere else.
Best Jiu Jitsu Gi’s, rashgaurds, and shorts for training as well as for competing! These gis are somehow simultaneously lightweight (some of the lightest on the market!) and sturdy. Im always impressed by how the gis (as well as the rashgaurds and shorts) withstand tough training and washes, for years!
Professional service, quality products, and great prices. I have been going to Cageside and Toro BJJ since I moved to NC and have had nothing but exceptional experiences each and every time.
Your first BJJ class at Cageside & Toro BJJ Fight Shop
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.
