From the reviews
I highly recommend Capitol Jiu jitsu. I have been attending classes for a little over 3 years at the Midtown location and now I get to get extra days of training a little closer to home. This school has really help change my perspective of aging into my 40's.
Since joining capital Jiujitsu, my life has changed exponentially. I cannot express the benefits of joining Capital not only physically, but mentally and socially. I had wanted to try Jiujitsu for close to 5 years before fully pulling the trigger and once I did, I knew I made the right decision.
An unassuming view from the outside hides a beautifully designed interior space. The place is clean and aesthetic. High quality mats make jiujitsu practice as comfortable as it gets being strangled by your friends(or soon to be friends). When you’re not rolling, there is a comfortable lounge area in the back.
My 8 year old son has been taking lessons at the Midtown location for the last year with Capitol Jiu Jitsu. The Carmichael location is just as spectacular as the Midtown location.
New to BJJ? Start at Capitol Jiu Jitsu - Carmichael
Capitol Jiu Jitsu - Carmichael comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Capitol Jiu Jitsu - Carmichael
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.
