From the reviews
Awesome place to learn BJJ. Very structured learning environment especially when you’re new, they take you off to the side for the first few weeks when you’re completely new instead of just throwing you in with the whole class.
My son has been in the kids BJJ class for almost a year and is really enjoying it. Coach Caden and Coach David have been so great and patient with the kids. Initially, my son was very apprehensive in attending class, but Coach Caden has made the kids BJJ class fun and engaging. Thanks, GloGlo team!
I've been bringing my son to GloGlo BJJ kickboxing and jiu jitsu classes for the last three years, since he was 4. It's been a joy watching my son grow in confidence, discipline, and as a martial artist.
I’ve been training at GloGlo for a little over a year, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The environment is incredibly welcoming, with both instructors and students creating a supportive atmosphere for everyone, regardless of skill level.
New to BJJ? Start at Gloglo Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Kickboxing & Fitness Academy
Gloglo Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Kickboxing & Fitness Academy 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 Gloglo Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Kickboxing & Fitness Academy
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.
