From the reviews
During my visit to the area, I had the opportunity to train at Grindhouse. I reached out to Deniese beforehand, and she was incredibly welcoming and quick to respond. Attending their open mat, I was impressed by everyone's kindness and the high-quality training.
Grindhouse is a safe place for all kiddos to learn a skill that will not only teach them to skills to protect themselves, but how to handle real world real life lessons they will carry with them their entire life.
Denise has cultivated an amazing space for kids and adults to train. She is kind and patient, and spends time with every student to be sure that they understand not only what is being taught, but can utilize their skills appropriately. The gym offers a great flexible schedule and a fair monthly payment.
Grindhouse grappling is an amazing place. Coach Denise is a great person. You can tell she really cares about everyone around her. Our kids are always excited to come learn some new techniques and make new friends. This is a very great place I highly recommend it
New to BJJ? Start at Grindhouse Grappling Nogi Jiu Jitsu
Grindhouse Grappling Nogi Jiu Jitsu 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 Grindhouse Grappling Nogi Jiu Jitsu
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.
