From the reviews
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to this space that has given me so much. First, Professor Sue is the driving force behind the Women's classes throughout the week.
Champion Academy is outstanding. The instructors are exceptional, breaking down complex techniques into understandable steps. The camaraderie among students creates a positive and motivating atmosphere, pushing everyone to excel.
I placed my nephew in their beginner kids class and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome, the instructors are top notch, they are very patient and know how to get kids engaged to learn , my nephew only 7 had never done any sports , or extra activities, and now he loves his bjj class, classmates and teachers ,…
Taking my son here for 2 weeks now and he absolutely loves it! The people are friendly and very welcoming. Definitely love the atmosphere! Recommend for anyone wanting to try out some jiu-jitsu
New to BJJ? Start at Champion Academy Jiu-Jitsu
Champion Academy Jiu-Jitsu 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 Champion Academy 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.
