From the reviews
My husband and three children (boy and two girls) train at Diamondback Jiujitsu under the instruction of Professor Matt Jones. As a mother and wife of those who train, I cannot speak highly enough of Matt's instruction, patience and professionalism.
Fantastic school with amazing Professor! Professor Matt is one of the best in the biz and is great with children. My daughter absolutely loves attending and is always learning something new. Her confidence and character has improved immensely since joining Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu
Update: still the best place, best guys, and such an incredible coach. This place is like my other family. Coach Matt is the reason I cam back after 8 years. After watching him with my daughter who I started last year, I knew he was the right person for me to jump back in with.
Starting my Brazilian jiujitsu journey with Professor Matt at Diamond Back has been one of the most relevant decisions in my life, this school is more than that, is a community where you will grow with the rest of your class. Im glad to be part of the DB Jiujitsu family.
New to BJJ? Start at Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu
Diamondback 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 Diamondback 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.
