From the reviews
The jiu-jitsu coaches are incredibly dedicated and persistent. They stay focused on each child, making sure they understand and improve every step of the way. Their patience, energy, and genuine care for the kids really stand out.
This gym is highly recommended. The instructors are super knowledgeable, and their classes combined with tough rolls create the best vibe every single time. On top of that, the atmosphere is friendly surrounded with nice trainning partners. I had an absolutely great time training on the mat since I joined.
Benny and his team are doing an excellent job teaching the kids Jiu Jitsu. The coach to kids ratio is fantastic and the vibe here is phenomenal, feels like a big family. We enjoy coming here multiple times a week and my daughter now loves Jiu Jitsu thanks to the team.
Great place, coach Ben. Lucas and Erick have a keen eye on details. Very friendly to all new people joining in, highly recommend, good for fitness, acquiring new skills, team spirit!
New to BJJ? Start at Flow State Jiu-Jitsu
Flow State 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 Flow State 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.
