From the reviews
I had an amazing experience learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here! The coaches are very professional and friendly. They work with you depending on what your goals are from the class - be it self defense, fitness, or just learning the sport.
I was looking for a class for my son and came here after trying essential down the road and wow what a difference. I appreciate instructors that actually take the time to teach. The place is clean, the staff is friendly and the fact that they offer Ju Jitsu and muay thai is an added bonus.
Excellent program and great instructors! My son started the kids program and LOVES it! He’s tried many types of martial arts and gyms and this is the first he’s enjoyed so much that he dedicates himself and wants to go every day. He is making so much progress. Wonderful gym and staff!
My husband and I had done a week trial for our sons ages 7 and 4 back in November 2022 and the boys absolutely loved it. Dan was so thorough in explaining everything to us. Tank gave us a tour of the school and answered all of our questions as this was all very new to us.
New to BJJ? Start at East Coast United Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai
East Coast United Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai 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 East Coast United Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai
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.
