From the reviews
Came from a different school in the area that just wasn’t a good fit for me and this school has far exceeded my expectations! Jordan is not only a standup guy but also a very good teacher. He and Joey are both great with kids and new students. Patient, humble and great representation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Such a welcoming, informative atmosphere!! Great place for students at all levels. The coach does such a great job at teaching techniques in a way that is easy to understand and replicate. The attention to detail is amazing and refreshing. My children also absolutely adore coach Jordan!
This is hands down the best spot to train if you are looking for high class and knowledgeable bjj instruction. Coach Jordan has created a gem right here in Dickinson,ND! The Elite BJJ atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. I was visiting from Washington State and this place made me feel right at home!
Shout out to Jordan @ elite Bjj! At first I didn’t know what to expect but after just one class I knew this was the gym for me! The people and atmosphere are extremely welcoming. Jordan’s incredibly knowledgeable in the art of Bjj. I highly recommend Elite Bjj in Dickinson,ND
New to BJJ? Start at Elite BJJ
Elite BJJ 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 Elite BJJ
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.
