From the reviews
Dedeco Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the best place to go for jiu-jitsu training. If you go to any of Dedeco's schools then you are allowed to train at all of them for no additional cost. Every school I have been to has awesome techniques and everyone is very nice.
Great BJJ school. This is a great place to get started with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The teachers are extremely skilled and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Highly recommended !
Extremely welcoming. The team that Dedeco has assembled are masters of their art. Not only are they extremely informative, but they are patient, helpful, challenging, motivating, and just good people. Highly recommend coming to train at Dedeco BJJ.
Dedeco's is hands down the best! From the moment I stepped foot in the gym, I knew I had found my second home. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but they are also passionate about helping each student reach their full potential. Shout out to Danny and Rich!
New to BJJ? Start at Dedeco Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – Pembroke
Dedeco Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – Pembroke 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 Dedeco Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – Pembroke
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.
