Affiliated academy — reviews and the gym's own info point to a recognized BJJ lineage or affiliation (think Gracie Barra, 10th Planet, Renzo Gracie, Alliance, Atos or Checkmat). If lineage matters to you, ask which affiliation the academy belongs to and under whom the head instructor earned their black belt.

I put my 3 kids in Jiu Jitsu about a year ago at the Renzo Gracie Henderson studio. And in the last year, my children have learned so much! Their confidence has boosted tremendously! They learn self defense, discipline, morals, and they are on fire to learn more!

★★★★★ — Shannon, Mar 2022

Fantastic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in Henderson! I am welcomed with open arms when I drop-in from Texas. Professor Pedro is a great instructor who meets each of his students where they are at in their individual BJJ journeys and trains what they need. Thanks for the rolls- see ya next time!!

Your first BJJ class at Daniel Gracie 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.
