From the reviews
Great gym to train at. The coaches are incredible with their step by step instruction. The men and women who train here are very welcoming and encouraging. Jiu-Jitsu is an intimidating sport, everyone here makes it easy for first timers to feel comfortable and have a great time.
If you want to learn grappling from some incredible coaches, this is the place to go! Couldn’t recommend them more. While I don’t train here, I trained with Coach Brian and Coach Josh for years. Been training bjj for over four years and they still make me feel like a day 1 white belt when I roll with them 😂
This group is highly skilled, very down to earth and has changed my life forever!! I recommend that anyone looking to try Jiu Jitsu give it a try!
New to BJJ? Start at Chattanooga Grappling Club
Chattanooga Grappling Club 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 Chattanooga Grappling Club
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.
