I have trained and taught with Professor Charles ‘Chuck’ Grover shoulder to shoulder for over three years. I almost left Jiu Jitsu for good but he met me where I was at in life and convinced me not to quit. A year later and I am now honored to call him Professor.

Finding an academy with a good curriculum is one thing, but finding an academy with amazing culture is another. G13 Havelock is a clean facility with incredible instruction and welcoming teammates Charles holds nothing back in his teachings. He will teach you every little trick that he uses himself.

★★★★★ — Eric, Feb 2024

I cannot recommend this gym enough!!! From the day one white belt to seasoned competitor, G13 is one of the most inclusive and inviting atmospheres you'll find in the area. World class Jiu Jitsu instruction, beautiful facility, and friendly environment. Professor Chuck is patient and thorough in his explanations.

New to BJJ? Start at G13 BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU HAVELOCK N.C.

G13 BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU HAVELOCK N.C. 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 G13 BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU HAVELOCK N.C.

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.
