Took my first class yesterday I had an amazing time. It was very challenging, but I learned a lot and everyone was very helpful I will definitely be signing up and training here. I would definitely recommend it to anybody in the area.
Best place to train jiu jitsu in the area. Best and the most high level instructors in this area by far.
Love training here. Such great Professors and coaches. Definitely recommended this gym.
Your first BJJ class at Empire Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Gracie Fighter
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.
