What members say
“Great instructor and great people!”
From the reviews
Great instructor and great people! Everyone I have met here has been very helpful and humble. Mark Comean, the instructor, is very knowledgeable and breaks down the training in manageable "bites/steps".
I have known Marc for several years now and I am blown away by how awesome his new gym and location is. The open space and area is amazing for anyone trying to find a training place. Marc has a great team with teammates that are wanting to help any new person.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Humaita JiuJitsu
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.
