From the reviews
I can't say enough about Omar and the Gracie Humaita Hemet team! Omar is an incredible professor who has not only helped my son, Bradley, and me learn vital self-defense skills but also taught us valuable life lessons along the way. Thanks to his guidance, Bradley even won gold at the last in-house competition!
Professor Omar and Karol, are some of the best professors out there. They are great competitors and champions, but above all great people! they have opened their school and home to us and we appreciate them. Professor Omar's way of teaching from basic to advanced and even the competition is mind blowing.
Absolutely wonderful!!! Training is professional, customer service is perfect. The studio is so inviting AND everyone who trains here are friendly and welcome you! Omar and Karol are so patient and really take the time to make the students feel comfortable and to make sure they are learning the techniques properly.
Fantastic place to train and learn JiuJitsu everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They even offer a women’s class if your not comfortable training with a male partner.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Humaita Hemet
Gracie Humaita Hemet 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 Humaita Hemet
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.
