From the reviews
after relocating from Malibu, California…I’ve been a member here at this Academy since January 2025 after trying out another academies and I quickly became a BIG fan of this place because of the professionalism and leadership of the high level teaching of Professor Mica and staff…facility is first class clean with two…
We absolutely love this place! My 7 and almost 9 year old started a few weeks ago. I can already tell it’s helped their confidence and listening skills. Every coach has been terrific…Mica, Nathan, Rudy, Kylie, Cello and Destiny are great with kids but commanding at the same time. They teach respect and to not give up.
I’ve trained at multiple schools over the years and life pulled me away more than once. Loss, major transitions, moves, career changes — there were periods I honestly thought I was done with BJJ. This gym gave me a place to come back to.
This jiu jitsu school is best place for anyone. I retired and needed something to keep my mind and body in shape and jiu jitsu seamed to be a good choice for that. I am so glad my research paid off and I found school with most experienced and professional instructors.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Las Vegas
Gracie Jiu Jitsu Las Vegas 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 Las Vegas
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.
