From the reviews
I’ve trained at quite a few gyms before, and what really sets Eleven Jiu Jitsu + Recovery apart is that it combines a luxury-level experience with serious training. The entire facility is designed to feel beautiful, calm, and serene while still maintaining a strong training atmosphere.
I joined Eleven Jiu Jitsu in May 2024 after moving back to care for a sick parent, and from the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I had found my new home. The welcoming atmosphere, top-tier instruction, and beautifully maintained facility make Eleven Jiu Jitsu a truly special place to train.
I stopped by a few days ago just to check out the recovery space and immediately loved the vibe, so I decided to bring my 3 year old back for a kids class. That first visit turned into memberships for both of us.
Hands-down the cleanest and most beautiful space in Monmouth. Went in for an intro Jiu Jitsu class and now I’ve been back 3 times a week ever since. Twice a week to train and once on the weekend to cure my hangover.
New to BJJ? Start at Eleven Jiu Jitsu + Recovery
Eleven Jiu Jitsu + Recovery 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 Eleven Jiu Jitsu + Recovery
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.
