From the reviews
From the moment I stepped into Cosens MMA, I knew this place was special. The teen and adult classes here are a perfect blend of challenge and respect, fostering an environment that is both safe and incredibly rewarding.
Where do I even start?!? I would have never imagined that Mixed Martial Arts would become such a part of our lives so quickly. My son, now known in the gym as Coach Cooper, has been a part of Cosens Teen/Adult class for a year and a half, and we can't say enough good about it.
Cosens Midland has been amazing for my son! He has grown so much, not only in his ability and skill in martial arts, but also in his attitude and respect for others. He has more self control and knows how to handle tough situations at school now. The coaches are amazing!
Highly recommend this location! My son has been coming to the Midland location for almost two years. The experience has been amazing. He has grown mentally and physically in that time. The coaches are fantastic and very encouraging for all skill levels! Facility is always clean and well kept.
New to BJJ? Start at Cosens Martial Arts Midland LLC
Cosens Martial Arts Midland LLC 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 Cosens Martial Arts Midland LLC
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.
