From the reviews
Awesome caring instructors that are passionate and patient with my two sons. I have been involved with MMA for 19 years and have been thoroughly impressed with the progress that my sons have made.
Literally the best place to start as an adult - especially as a woman!! I went around and watched classes at different places before committing to Deep Blue. The beginning instructor is very kind and patient, breaking down moves and explaining all the details.
Coach Ben is a fantastic teacher- very good at breaking down techniques and going through moves systematically. Deep Blue also has a bunch of great blue belts who are great teachers too! If you’re looking to start BJJ or improve your game, this is the place to be!
Have been attending the beginner classes for a little over a month now and I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Stepping into it I was pretty nervous, but coach Mike does an exceptional job at creating a friendly yet very professional training environment every class to give everyone attending the best possible…
Your first BJJ class at Deep Blue 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.
