From the reviews
I started at this school about a year ago and WOW what an experience! I highly recommend that you, at least, visit Gerson's Brazilian jiu jitsu academy for the following reasons: 1.
This place is so amazing that my son, husband, and I take classes here. I appreciate Gerson and the wifey so much! They are some of the nicest most welcoming people I have ever met but don't get on their bad side because they will kick your butt lol.
If I could give 1,000 stars to Delta BJJ, I would!! Delta BJJ is truly the best brazilian jiu jitsu academy here in West Los Angeles for adults and kids! The owner, Gerson, is masterful and simply the best all around.
I traveled to LA for the week and met Professor Gerson by chance. He invited me to train at his academy and it was a great experience. Not only is the Professor a very skilled, well-known, and highly respected member of the Jiujitsu community, he is also very friendly, patient, and generous in his approach, making…
New to BJJ? Start at Delta Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Delta Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Delta 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.
