From the reviews
I went to Cornerstone, not knowing anything about Jiu Jitzu, except that I wanted to learn self-defense and a way to stay in shape as a 47 year-old female getting older. I wanted a whole-body workout that would serve a functional purpose, besides just weight-training at a gym.
I was all-in after my first class back in Fall 2020. I only wish I started sooner! Great environment, great people, at a great value. 10/10, would recommend to anyone wanting to take up BJJ.
I'll start with I was new to jiu jitsu and martial arts in general when going in. Jeremy is very up front when you go in. It's not easy but it's rewarding and no one is there to make you feel bad.
The most professional Brazilian Jiu-jitsu academy in the area. Professor is highly knowledgeable and tenured in his practice. Very family orientated classes both for adults and kids..
New to BJJ? Start at Cornerstone Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Delavan
Cornerstone Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Delavan comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Cornerstone Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Delavan
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.
