From the reviews

Master Allan Goes is not only a legend but as humble as they come. Master Allan is a pioneer in BJJ and there is no question about his technical ability. Master Allan made my daughter the center of his attention during the training sessions.

★★★★★ — Roy, Jul 2024

Master Allan Goes is the real deal. Pure bred BJJ. My girls have been training with him for 3-4 years now and I would not go anywhere else.

★★★★★ — Truc, Apr 2023

Incredible gym with Jiu-jitsu instruction as close to the source as you can find these days. Allan Góes is meticulous in detail and explanation when coaching each student. Allan and Jim are both present and attentive in their classes. Both, Taking time while drilling to develop each students approach to the technique.

Your first BJJ class at GÓES JIU JITSU CLUB • A Carlson Gracie Legacy

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.
