From the reviews
Man master Teddy is one of my favorite instructors around. He gives great technique advice but he also works with your pace. To have a only a hour per class is crazy but u learn so much. My first couple of classes we learned multiple strikes, multiple takedowns and a few submissions techniques.
This is a fantastic school, I like how the instructor ties together martial arts with character development and strong morals for daily life. This had been a great thing for children, the instructors are professionals and interact well with the children of all ages as well as the adults.
I have been looking for a gym to train at where I can get the proper techniques and cardio. Coach Teddy has been able to teach me true self-defense all while giving me the needed cardio to sculpt my body. Love it here
Wow, I can't recommend Coach Teddy White, Coach Paul, Coach Mousa and the rest of the team more highly. My son has been going 2+ years and the difference it's made in his confidence, self-discipline and simply the way he carries himself is profound.
New to BJJ? Start at Choke Unit BJJ
Choke Unit BJJ 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 Choke Unit BJJ
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.
