From the reviews

I love attending GOSHIN jujitsu- hosted by Sensei Cecil and Sensei Bettie. I have learned so much about the culture and self-defense. It has increased my confidence and physical ability. The sensei's are patient while still maintaining the discipline.

A wonderful place to exercise! The owners are very nice. The Tai chi classes are refreshing and encouraging.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Jun 2019

I started Jujitsu having muscle atrophy. I didn't even know how to tumble. But my Senseis and classmates have taught me so much over this past year or so. I've come so far because of this school! It has changed my life for the better! Thank you, Sensei Cecil, Sensei Betty, and Sensei Jess!

★★★★★ — Megan, Apr 2024

Florida School of Ju-jitsu and Tai Chi helped me lose over 60 lbs, gain strength, and achieve balance. This dojo is a staple of my life and wellbeing. Sensei Bettie, Sensei Cecil, and Sensei Jess have established this dojo in such a way that it instills respect, responsibility, and honor.

Your first BJJ class at Florida school of ju-jitsu and tai chi

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.
