Your first BJJ class at Guardian Self Defense/Team Link Webster BJJ and MMA
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.
