★★★★★ — Bret, Apr 2024

Me and my 9 year old daughter have been going here for a little over a year now and both love it. Solid training atmosphere and instructors, family friendly, and great crew of students. The head instructor (Professor Mark) is a seasoned competitor and great instructor.

★★★★★ — Christopher, Dec 2023

I was in the area on business and had the opportunity to stop by and train at GB Edmonds this week. The head instructor Mark Chappell greeted me warmly as did the students training that day. Mark put us through a rigorous warm up and across the mat drills, which I deeply appreciate as part of a BJJ curriculum.

Your first BJJ class at Gracie Barra Edmonds Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

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.
