From the reviews
I’m a blue belt and have trained at multiple gyms. I had a drop in class with Anson - excellent instructor. The place had a chill, mature vibe and I could tell the kids class was very productive and the kids were having fun as well.
I wasn’t completely sold on doing Jiu jitsu. I was able to watch several classes, see my child throughly enjoy in the kids BJJ classes. When I finally started for myself, everything was at each individuals own pace. The instruction is great for both kids and adults.
Flew in from out of town to work an AGF tournament and tour Reno, I’m lucky that Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu landed on my list for BJJ schools to visit. I had a great mid day class and really enjoyed their teaching.
I attend these classes and are very good for teaching discipline and self defense! Great teachers that great with kids and adults! Holds birthday parties, camps and themed parties, all very fun. They teach discipline very well and have reasonable expectations (I.e.
New to BJJ? Start at Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu Academy
Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Guerrilla 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.
