Signed up for some exercise, got a friendly environment, learning great techniques. Coach here has so much knowledge of the sport and works with all of us to improve! There are classes accommodating for teens, adults, women and children.
My boys and I train at Neezam and let me tell you we LOVE IT. The coaches are amazing. One of the cleanest facility I have ever been to. Come by and check it out for yourself.

Your first BJJ class at Checkmat Anaheim / Neezam Jiu Jitsu School
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.
