★★★★★ — Mike, Sep 2023

I've been taking BJJ classes at Dauntless for nine months now and I feel like it's the first real big investment I've made in myself. The instructors are good, as in, clear and thorough in their explanation and demonstrations of how to do moves and they are patient in explaining and showing you the moves when you're…

★★★★★ — Iulia, Jul 2024

The manner in which Jiu-Jitsu is taught to you is highly intuitive through its grappling and learning it along as you wrestle. I wish to thank this school for helping me to "empty my mind" and not think about how I learn my technique through wrestling but instead feel and react.

★★★★★ — Samuel, May 2023

My son Connor has been been taking classes at Dauntless I guess about 9 months. I have visited the gym and felt very welcomed by Mr. Sachetti and his sons. Connor was encouraged to participate in a tournament and yesterday was his first one. I have been on cloud 9 since last night beaming with pride.

Your first BJJ class at Dauntless 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.
