From the reviews

My son has been going to the youth classes in Weston for over a year now. It has helped build his confidence and after a year of dedication, he was able to earn a new belt. The instructors are so patient, knowledgeable and hold a high expectation for the kids' effort.

★★★★★ — Alexandra, Dec 2017

Excellent all around. Jeb is a great instructor who has helped me grow more knowledgeable in BJJ for the 10 years and he keeps surprising me with new and detailed instructions every time we train together

★★★★★ — Travis, Dec 2017

Awesome facility, and even better guys to train with! Most MMA style gyms make you feel rushed and hard to understand, but this gym is not the case. They break everything down and take time to show you what’s going on. Check them out!

Your first BJJ class at Ground Zero Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
