From the reviews
I have trained at some of the best gyms in the world. Vegas,Cali,Thailand NH all over! If you are interested in some high quality Jiu Jitsu for any number of reasons ( weight loss, self defense, self confidence).
I cannot say enough good things about Granite State. The gym is spacious and clean. Coach Bryan takes his time working with his students teaching them techniques for their size to best use. Definitely check them out!
Stopped into Granite State BJJ while on vacation for some mat time and received extraordinary hospitality from Bryan and his students. Great jiu-jitsu gym!!
I live in New York and was back in New Hampshire for a couple of weeks and came into Granite State BJJ while I was here. Bryan is a knowledgeable, patient and efficient instructor that I had the pleasure of working with while I was back, and was also very impressed on how welcoming and open the community here is.
New to BJJ? Start at Granite State BJJ
Granite State BJJ 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 Granite State BJJ
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.
