From the reviews
I had an outstanding experience at Gracie Huimata Henderson! This jiu-jitsu gym in Henderson truly deserves a 5-star rating. My son and I were thoroughly impressed with the knowledgeable professors, the fantastic facilities, and the welcoming atmosphere.
amazing clean training facility with state of the art professors and program, exceeded all expectations and is a pleasure to attend every single time. professor dimas and professor rodrigo offer amazing technique’s to all ages and the location welcomes people from all walks of life.
There are no words that can express the respect and gratitude that I have for Gracie Humaita Henderson.. Professor Rodrigo is one of a kind, with his guidance and knowledge of Jiujitsu our daughter Gia is on her way to becoming a World Champion.
I am a pilot and travel around 200 days a year for work and in a different city almost every night. One of my favorite things to do while traveling is find jiu jitsu gyms to train at so I can meet more of the jiu jitsu community around the world and meet cool local people.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Henderson
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Henderson 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 Henderson
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.
