From the reviews
I don’t think I will ever find a gym like this one again. The culture here is so caring and welcoming. Women especially are treated amazingly and take care of each other. I started about 5 months ago, and from the beginning, I was treated with the upmost respect and motivation.
We have tried several different jiu jitsu gyms over the last year. We have seen the different coaching techniques and coach Joe & Professor Chance are hands down the best we have seen.
Look no further. If you want a gym to call home and feel like a family you have found it. Professor Chance and Coach Joe are top tier coaches. They have the utmost patience in teaching techniques and will show you multiple times how to perform the technique and not make you feel small or less than for needing extra…
I literally can’t say enough on how impressed I am with this gym. Looked for a while for the right place for my son to get started, and I can truly say I couldn’t have made a better choice.
New to BJJ? Start at Full Metal BJJ
Full Metal BJJ comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Full Metal 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.
