★★★★★ — Mike, Sep 2024

I joined Freedom jiu jitsu a month ago, and I feel like I have been training here for years. Such a great group of guys! The veterans with years of experience are super positive, friendly, and just want to teach the new guys like myself to get better.

Freedom Jiu Jitsu is an awesome place to train. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and really care about everyone’s progress, whether you’re brand new or have experience. The atmosphere is welcoming, the training is legit, and everyone is respectful and supportive.

★★★★★ — Ethan, Jan 2026

I have only been going for a few weeks, but this place already feels like home. Everyone has welcomed me with open arms, and I learn something new from each person I work with. had no sitter for my 3yr old one day, and I didn’t want to miss class. He was welcomed into the gym to watch, and he got such a kick out of it.

New to BJJ? Start at Freedom Jiu Jitsu

Freedom 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 Freedom 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.

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.
