From the reviews
I’m in town for a few days (from Scranton, Pa./Rockaway, N.J.) and wanted to get a roll in, I called several schools in the area of my hotel and none were as inviting as this place. The owner was extremely nice & welcoming and introduced me to the whole class. All nice people.
Couldn’t ask for a more qualified and capable expert in BJJ than Coach Earl. Where else will you get directly trained by a 4th degree Black Belt? Excellent training, coaching, and leadership for all ages, really good at teaching and engaging the kids. 5 stars!
I've trained with coach Earl and all of member of team they are really Good and so kind even though I don't understand how to do, they always show me how to do it properly! If you want to try Jiu Jitsu, then I highly recommend this team!
I joined CFS Jiujitsu circa 5-6 years ago. The bond and family and atmosphere is what keeps me coming. When my son was ready to join I didn’t think twice coach earl is amazing with the kids the bond and respect they have for him goes without a question.
Your first BJJ class at CFS 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.
