From the reviews
tldr; Great place. Stop thinking about it and just do it. HEEEEEYYYYYY! I went through the Essentials program after literally thinking about it for months. The Essentials program is great because you are with people who are the same skill as you. I absolutely loved it.
The staff and fellow students are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Vinicius and Charlie are excellent teachers. There was a real sense of camaraderie among the students, and I never felt judged or out of place, even as a newbie.
I cannot stress enough how great everyone here is. There are kids that are 5yo in the kids classes and the instructor takes his time to be sure everyone is learning at their own pace. My daughter asks me every day if she has class that night because she loves it so much.
E3 is great - this is my first introduction into a sport jiu-jitsu gym and I love it. There are enough class times that fit my work / life schedule. The place is always clean and people always friendly. I'd recommend E3 to anyone - brand new to the sport, hobbyist, or hardcore competitor.
New to BJJ? Start at E3 Jiu-Jitsu
E3 Jiu-Jitsu 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 E3 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.
