From the reviews
If you are in the area and want to train, this gym is absolutely amazing. The instructors are welcoming, intense, and focused on teaching what works at the highest level. Sean and Brenden are great guys and first class instructors. I truly appreciate these professors.
Awesome brand new facility with top notch amenities. Staff are great! Instructors are definitely talented and extremely personable. Everyone has been extremely welcoming to myself and my 7 yr old daughter. The kids class is fantastic and fun!
I had the pleasure of visiting my longtime friend and former student at his new gym, Dream Art Doylestown, where I met Professor Sean and the rest of the team. I was incredibly impressed with Sean’s teaching style and the attention to detail in his explanations of techniques.
This gym has great instructors and I really loved that they showed applicable techniques that have been tested in competitions and live situations. Professor Sean was really hospitable during my visit and I couldn't be more grateful.
New to BJJ? Start at Dream Art Jiu Jitsu - Doylestown, PA
Dream Art Jiu Jitsu - Doylestown, PA 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 Dream Art Jiu Jitsu - Doylestown, PA
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.
