From the reviews
Came in from out of town looking for a good place to roll while on the road. I was pleasantly impressed with how welcoming the folks here were and how they did everything to ease my anxiety about walking into a room full of strangers.
I have my whole family here. We were beginners and the owner and staff have all been incredibly welcoming into the family. The kids love training 5 days a week and I hop in the sauna while they train. The kids are progressing well and there’s a great balance of fun and focus. We will be long term members.
This place is amazing. All ages all skill levels. They have fun and safe kids boxing and jiu-jitsu classes. Adult kickboxing and jiu-jitsu. Great coaches who are very informative and carry a highly respected family oriented base. Teammates are awesome always willing to help eachother in and out of the school.
The best gym ever! With the best coaches!! The family atmosphere is just amazing! The owner truly cares for and about his students. We are very thankful for him and his beautiful family.
New to BJJ? Start at CARLSON GRACIE KINGMAN
CARLSON GRACIE KINGMAN 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 CARLSON GRACIE KINGMAN
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.
