From the reviews

Joe Wilk is an excellent teacher, motivator and coach! He is great at taking his knowledge and expertise and translating it over to a very learnable skill. His passion and personality were the perfect mix to move me through a tough workout and push me beyond my limits.

★★★★★ — Bryan, Jan 2024

I would like to thank you to our instructor Joe Wilk who served this country, as well as all the other men and women. “Thank You” Joe’s abilities and skill levels are just too long for me to list them here lol. The most impressive thing about Joe is his ability to work with me.

★★★★★ — Khoa1708, Feb 2024

If you've hit a plateu in BJJ, and want to break through your old limits (or just want to start with rock solid fundamentals) you need to come to Coach Wilk's class. This is more than just another jiu jitsu gym, this is an opportunity. Coach Wilk teaches a complete strategy not just a random 'move of the day'.

★★★★★ — Jack, Feb 2024

Excellent instruction for both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self defense. I love how classes are organized and taught in a sensible order instead of random techniques taught that have nothing to do with what we learned in the previous class.

Your first BJJ class at Genesis Martial Arts - East Harry

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.
