The head instructor is professional, insightful, and you can tell that he really cares about what he is doing.

★★★★★ — Christopher, May 2022

I will say one of my best Drop In experiences I have ever had. Promptly replied to my inquiry to Drop In and everyone on the Mat was Friendly, Welcoming, and Safe. If you're visiting the area and want to still train 10/10 Recommend.

★★★★★ — John, Jun 2026

Been taking my son here for about a year so far for the kids class, new facility in Elkhorn is much nicer, all the staff are friendly, and most importantly my son is comfortable and has fun.

★★★★★ — John, May 2024

I have been to almost all the gym in north eastern Illinois/ South Eastern Wisconsin and this is easily one of the best mat spaces in the area. Can’t say enough good about this place

★★★★★ — No, Dec 2023

New to BJJ? Start at Devine Jiu-Jitsu Lake Geneva

Devine Jiu-Jitsu Lake Geneva 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 Devine Jiu-Jitsu Lake Geneva

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.
