From the reviews

I was looking for something to help me get into shape and my daughter into something she enjoyed. For some reason, I skipped over other gyms listed above G1 in my search. Glad I did. My life gets better every time I get on the mat and I have to drag my 5-year-old out of there because she has so much fun.

★★★★★ — Erik, Mar 2021

Great martial arts gym! The owners treat you like family from the moment you walk in the door! My 6 year old son looks forward to going and I’ve seen positive changes with him. I love that they incorporate good self defense moves into his training! We love all the coaches that are super motivating!

★★★★★ — Mandy, Aug 2024

Great place and the coaches are amazing and good friendship. They feel like family.

★★★★★ — Juan, Jun 2023

5 stars hands down!! I have never attended an academy like G1 and I’ve been in the ring before and trained at other academies over my 32 years. The kickboxing classes here had me hooked from day 1. Not only did I get into the best shape I’ve been in, I’ve gained tons of knowledge and confidence in myself.

Your first BJJ class at G1 Martial Arts

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.
