From the reviews
Our family has found a gem in Guerrilla Grappling jujitsu school. My six-year-old adores the classes there, and we find ourselves visiting the school at least 3 to 4 times a week, depending on our schedule. It is heartening to see the enthusiasm with which my child looks forward to each class.
Guerrilla grappling is one of the most welcoming BJJ gyms I have experienced. Coach Corey has an excellent ability in breaking down positions and techniques in ways that make sense to people of all levels/experience.
We started at Guerilla Grappling in May. My 15 year old with Autism has grown and learned some amazing skills. The staff has been accommodating, welcoming and doing a great job breaking down drills and skills of Jiu Jitsu.
I absolutely love that they have two days for homeschooling families so we can come earlier in the day. All the instructors are absolutely wonderful with all of my kids and the others who attend are also great working with each other.
New to BJJ? Start at Guerrilla Grappling
Guerrilla Grappling 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 Guerrilla Grappling
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.
