From the reviews
My son has been coming to the kid’s class for over two years and CTA Hillsboro has been nothing short of great! Shawn and George are super patient with the kids and make it fun for them. Highly recommend!
We love this Jiujitsu academy! We as a family have been training for 4-5 years now, we joined the adamson bros jiujitsu academy under the Rafael Lovato Jr. association in Seaside Oregon back in 2018/2019. Trained there regularly until we moved out to the Hillsboro area in September of 2022.
If you're looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym in Oregon, I can’t recommend CTA Hillsboro enough! Since joining, my daughter has grown so much—not just in her Jiu Jitsu technique, but in her overall confidence and ability to protect herself. What really stands out as a parent is the culture here.
I was visiting from Virginia and looking for a good jiu jitsu gym and CTA Hillsboro welcomed me for a class. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly, and kind to me while dropping in.
New to BJJ? Start at CTA Hillsboro Jiu Jitsu
CTA Hillsboro 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 CTA Hillsboro 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.
