From the reviews
The newest jiu jitsu school in the area is nothing but top notch. I am constantly traveling for work and always look for places to train where ever work takes me. Well on my recent trip to Anniston, AL I found this school.
The instructor helped me figure out different ways to set in moves and positions i only got one arm and he is great at what he does and has very high patience if you want to learn how to fight or work out this is the place, would give it 10 stars if possible
Everyone makes you feel at home here and the staff is always willing to help you with whatever goal you have in mind. The jiu jitsu team is absolutely incredible at what they do for everyone. Best gym around!
Super nice equipment lots of high end name brand machines such as Arsenal Strength. Also a welcoming jiu jitsu community.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Barra Anniston / Evolution Strength & Conditioning
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.
