From the reviews
I stopped by Gracie Barra Royal Palm Beach to check it out when I was in town. I’m an experienced brown belt who has been training for over 10 years. That being said I felt the level of instruction outstanding! I found Professor Brian to be extremely skilled and competent.
Wonderful studio my 7 year old was unsure at first but as soon as he had his 1st class with professor Brian he loved it. Wants to go every day. He has become more confident with each class. Professor is very patient, kind and really works with your children. I recommend this studio, you will not be disappointed.
I always wanted to do Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and never gotten a chance to do. I have done Judo, Muay Thai, Karate, and Tae Kwon Do and even some Shaolin Kung Fu. Overall, Jiu-jitsu exceeded all my expectations. It's seriously very fun and nothing like the other martial arts I have practiced.
I've been bringing both my boys to train at Gracie Barra Royal Palm Beach for a couple months, and I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've made!
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Barra Royal Palm Beach
Gracie Barra Royal Palm Beach 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 Gracie Barra Royal Palm Beach
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.
