I absolutely love this gym ! The owner Adam is so great to work with . As a female beginner, I felt completely comfortable working with him and have learned a lot . I highly recommend anyone join the gym and bring their kids here ! The skills you learn are so valuable !

★★★★★ — Rebeca, Oct 2017

I have been attending adult classes at CHS BJJ for a little more than a month now. I have always had an interest in learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but I've always created some excuse to talk myself out of it. Luckily for me, a friend of mine was training here and invited me in for the free class. I was hooked, instantly.

★★★★★ — Andrew, Oct 2016

I started with CHS in May 2017 as a beginner in jiu jitsu and only with a background in weightlifting and Crossfit. Starting BJJ was an opportunity to get outside of my comfort zone (both physical and mental) and I've enjoyed every minute of it specifically because of Coach Adam and the entire team at CHS.

New to BJJ? Start at Courage Honor Strength Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Courage Honor Strength Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Courage Honor Strength 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.
