Great instruction and mentoring from Jim. My sons have caught on great and love going to class. So glad they moved in to the neighborhood! Highly recommended!

Sensei instructor Jim does a great job training my daughter and I practical self defense. I recommend this class to all !

★★★★★ — Scott, Mar 2017

Our daughter has been attending Goshin for the past several months. She absolutely loves going. We love that the program trains her for real-life situations she could come across. Sensei is attentive and explains to her what she is learning as well as why.

★★★★★ — Shannon, Jul 2018

Our 15 year old son and.13 year old daughter have been going for 2 months. They have already learned skills for self defense and equally as important, they truly enjoy it. Sensei Jim takes time with each student to ensure they master the maneuvers.

Your first BJJ class at Goshin JuJitsu of Lakewood Ranch

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.
