Affiliated academy — reviews and the gym's own info point to a recognized BJJ lineage or affiliation (think Gracie Barra, 10th Planet, Renzo Gracie, Alliance, Atos or Checkmat). If lineage matters to you, ask which affiliation the academy belongs to and under whom the head instructor earned their black belt.

From the reviews
If you want to train with some awesome people, this is a great school. I’ve taken away a nugget of knowledge from every class. The people are awesome and very friendly. It’s a clean environment and a heck of a workout.
Michael and Brian are outstanding coaches and people. Patient instructors with a wealth of knowledge in pure Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. If its a family friendly academy that focuses on self defense that you are searching for then this is your place in the Chattanooga area.
I travel with work and have trained at a lot of different Bjj schools. Brian is the best instructor I have ever trained with. thank you Brian, much respect.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Chattanooga Team Pedro Sauer
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.
