From the reviews
Words can’t explain how much this place changed my life, a couple months ago I was in a very dark place not feeling good about myself and my appearance I was out of shape. And scared of being social because I lacked self confidence, 2 months into going to Dak BJJ.
Dak Jitsu is the best gym I’ve ever stepped foot in. Dak is extremely professional, thorough and clear in his teaching. The level of discipline and consistency in this gym is a culture he’s built and you can see it in every person that shows up to train. We all love it because Daks made it fun to love.
I started dakbjj in the beginning of September. The coaches here have been nothing but extremely helpful with teaching me the true art of jiu jitsu. Their MMA class is also very fun. The environment here is like family, we all want each other to succeed and strive. Not just on the mats, but in life.
Great gym ! Super friendly staff, brought my 16 yo here and he’s in love with Jiu-jitsu now ! Thanks coach DAK !
New to BJJ? Start at Dak Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Dak Brazilian 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 Dak 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.
