From the reviews
Such a welcoming BJJ & MMA Gym! Came for a seminar and was ABSOLUTELY blown away with their inclusive attitude, supportive members and warm demeanor! Definitely check ‘em out!
I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for almost 9 years. I travel a bit for work and have had the opportunity to drop in to many gyms around the country. With that perspective, I can confidently say that Gentlemen’s Jiu Jitsu is certainly one of the top martial arts schools I’ve had the pleasure to train at.
Felt super welcome here it’s a great place. Lot of great talent - best MMA gym in DE by far. Coach trouble is the man. Super skilled fighter and coach. Handsome. All around great guy.
Amazing gym will teach you how to defend yourself and build a stronger mindset! Amazing staff that are very helpful in all categories especially the front desk worker swayze who gives great life advice. Trouble teaches you the basics on and off the Matt that you can use for your entire life.
New to BJJ? Start at Gentlemen's Jiu-Jitsu•MMA•MuayThai
Gentlemen's Jiu-Jitsu•MMA•MuayThai 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 Gentlemen's Jiu-Jitsu•MMA•MuayThai
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.
