From the reviews
I've been doing Jiu-Jitsu here for about 5 months now. Mike, the head coach, is amazing. Very attentive and takes a personal approach to every student. I started bringing my 6 year old son and 4 year old daughter as well to the kids classes. They absolutely love it and have a blast.
I love and appreciate this gym so much! It's a great family atmosphere. From the students to the trainers, everyone has been very welcoming and professional. The training staff is friendly and informative with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
One of my best experiences I've had is becoming part of the CW family. Coach Diaz works hard to create a positive environment for learning and pushing his students to improve. The staff is very friendly and the gym is very modern and clean.
City wolves is one of the best gyms to train at in the city. Mike is a great instructor And a humble individual who is dedicated to passing down his knowledge to his students! Great atmosphere
New to BJJ? Start at City Wolves Jiujitsu
City Wolves Jiujitsu 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 City Wolves Jiujitsu
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.
