From the reviews
Really awesome place to train. Brian takes his time to break down moves and the whole class is very welcoming and friendly, when I told them I was competing at month end, they took the time to go through drills with me and technique sparring. Really shocked how much I felt at home given I am from the UK on holiday..
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs is an AMAZING school. What brought us in was the Bullyproof program for our 3 kids, but we have expanded since then. Over 2 years later, we have the entire family enrolled.
I've had an incredible experience so far at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs! Coach Henry and Coach Berto are both extremely knowledgeable and do a fantastic job of breaking things down in a way that makes learning Jiu-Jitsu feel approachable and effective.
The best gym I’ve ever been to! Everyone is super friendly, the gym is spotless and the coaches are experts at their craft. I appreciate that safety was a priority during my class. I highly recommend amateur and advanced skill levels come check out Gracie Jiu Jitsu ASAP. Officially a white belt!
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs 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 Jiu-Jitsu Altamonte Springs
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.
