From the reviews
One of the greatest places you can be a member of. Its not just a gym. Its a family. A family that will push you & work with you through tough & thin. Learning jiu jitsu from humble & hilarious world class athletes is the cherry on top. Must visit
I can't speak highly enough about this Jiujitsu gym. It manages to combine an impressive level of skill and expertise with a warm and friendly environment that welcomes everyone including beginners, families, and kids.
I couldn't be happier with my experience at this jujitsu gym. The kids' class here is exceptional, providing a supportive environment for young learners. The instructors are skilled, patient, and create a perfect balance of discipline and fun.
Dropped in here to train and it was a great experience. All of the coaches were very knowledgeable and they were able to explain techniques very well so that we understood them completely. The gym had a great environment too, everyone was super friendly which made me feel comfortable being a new face.
New to BJJ? Start at Double Five Mid Cities Jiu Jitsu
Double Five Mid Cities 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 Double Five Mid Cities 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.
