From the reviews
Home from home. Crosstown Jiujitsu is truly the place where you can be yourself and be comfortable while learning Jiujitsu. I have never met a team that was so connected and on the same personal accord as here. I believe the smaller team allows for closer connections.
I have been in martial arts for over 15 years! This is by far one of the best gyms I have been to! Knowledgeable instructors! Great atmosphere! Go visit them! You won't be disappointed!
Fantastic gym and a great place to train for the whole family! Instructors are knowledgeable and truly care about their students. Highly recommend!!
Great atmosphere and family oriented activities for everyone. You won’t find a more diverse place to train Jiu Jitsu
New to BJJ? Start at Crosstown Jiu Jitsu
Crosstown Jiu Jitsu 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 Crosstown 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.
