From the reviews
Genesis BJJ has been a life changer for my two boys. My younger Son was always on video games after school and my middle son was always watching series. My wife and I started looking for some kind of sport that both would like and they decided on BJJ.
6 months ago I took my first ever BJJ class I started off very rough I was slow un athletic and I didn’t know what to do in life, I was stuck at home playing video games and playing on my phone all day, but BJJ showed me that life isn’t all about games, and staying home it’s about respect, discipline, and effort.
We’ve been part of Genesis BJJ Center for almost 2 years now, and it truly feels like family. The Professor and coaches are not just instructors — they’re mentors who lead with passion & discipline. Jiu Jitsu isn’t an easy sport. It builds character through hard lessons and tears.
About 4 months ago my husband and I enrolled our son to Genesis BJJ. In the short amount of time we have already seen such a huge shift in his confidence and resilience. Professor and all the coaches have been super respectful, welcoming and helpful since day one. They teach the kids respect, discipline and hard work.
New to BJJ? Start at Genesis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center
Genesis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center 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 Genesis Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Center
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.
