From the reviews
Quality and top notch teaching from Miss Professor Ronda Andrews. The vibes and atmosphere makes training and learning the art enjoyable. Always learning new ways of improving techniques and methods. I highly recommend anyone from beginners to advanced practitioners to come and be a part of the GH family!
I have been training here for 2 years and have had such an amazing experience. The amount of confidence I’ve gained since starting, has helped me so much in my personal life. I feel stronger, and comfortable pushing myself outside my comfort zone.
Absolutely wonderful school! Great instructors with clear instructions and a wealth of knowledge. Morning and afternoon classes are very accommodating. From beginner to advanced, from casual learning to competition training, this school is where you want to go to learn quality jiu jitsu.
I never thought I’d be doing jiu-jitsu in my life, but joining in my 30s is honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made. Professor Ronda has been an incredible coach. Great instruction, lots of laughs, and she brings real life lessons along with the training.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Humaita West Craig
Gracie Humaita West Craig comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 West Craig
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.
