★★★★★ — Amanda, Nov 2020

I cannot say enough good things about this location! My daughter joined in January (2021) when she was 5 and it's been almost 10 months. The skills she has gained, the confidence Coach Tim, Coach Bryce, and Mrs Liz give her. Just amazing!

★★★★★ — Bree, Oct 2021

My daughter has been apart of the CMJJ family for a year and a half. We signed her up the first time for summer camp and she has loved being a part of this family ever since. CMJJ has helped her grow and learn as a person, it has helped her learn discipline and focus which in turn has helped outside of CMJJ classes.

Your first BJJ class at Carlos Machado Jiu Jitsu - Dickinson

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.
