From the reviews
Incredible academy! Professor Mike is unbelievably talented, funny, and has such a passion for teaching. The instruction level here is beyond amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough! I’m a brown belt, and he gently destroyed me haha!
I really enjoyed training at this gym. Coach Mike has a TON of experience in many different styles. Very humble man; teaches a good rounded curriculum. He encourages students to push themselves but also emphasizes training safe and smart. The gym dues are very reasonable.
Mike is great instructor and very knowledgeable in both Judo and BJJ. He has some great people under him helping out teaching as well. This place is great to learn grappling at and you can’t beat the price especially if you have family wanting to do it.

Your first BJJ class at Gorilla Judo and BJJ Club
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.
