★★★★★ — Carlos, Jul 2025

My husband and I were looking for a bjj gym for our 4 year old son to train at that was local. We took him to 3-4 gyms in the area, but each time he said he wanted to go back to Cohab! So that’s where we went & we are very happy with that decision.

★★★★★ — Christina, Jul 2025

This place is amazing.My 4yr old daughter has been taking classes a few months now. Master Paolo and coach Sofia are phenomenal teachers and their team of other coaches like Aj are really good with the kids. The classes are very educational and fun too.Also a plus that it's a really good group of kids in the class.

Your first BJJ class at Cohab City Brazilian 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
