★★★★★ — Alan, Apr 2025

My son started jiu jitsu here a week ago and he’s absolutely loves it. He loves his instructors and is learning so fast. They are so great with kids there and you can tell are passionate about this sport. I have already seen my son improve in other areas.

★★★★★ — Bonita, May 2024

My 14 year old daughter has been training with Professor Eduardo for two and a half years. I have seen such a positive improvement in her attitude and demeanor. Jiu jitsu has helped her learn self-defense skills, increased her confidence, and improved her mental health.

★★★★★ — Amanda, May 2024

My son and I both train here, and I could not fit enough words into this post to recommend this gym enough. Jiu Jitsu has improved my son’s confidence on and off the mats, and I can say the same for myself.

New to BJJ? Start at EF-Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

EF-Brazilian 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 EF-Brazilian 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
