From the reviews
Cosens is a phenomenal place to train. I plan on taking my nieces and nephews here when they get a little older. The instructors are friendly, professional, and teach well. I been training at Cosens for over a year now and they always have new things to teach us.
The coaching staff in Saginaw has worked tirelessly with my kids to teach them some of the most important life skills and in the process give them the physical skills to protect themselves and others from those who may try and hurt them.
Our children have been attending Cosens classes for over three years, and the positive impact on them has been remarkable. The Cosens program is not only engaging but also deeply respectful, fostering an environment where discipline and focus are balanced perfectly with fun and enthusiasm.
Cosens Martial Arts is a very welcoming environment for both new and experienced martial artists. Kids clearly learn discipline, respect, self defense, and fitness skills while also having fun and making friends. I'm a member of the adult classes and the same principles apply.
New to BJJ? Start at Cosens Martial Arts Saginaw LLC
Cosens Martial Arts Saginaw 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 Saginaw 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.
