From the reviews
I highly recommend this gym. The coach, Lisa, is a great person and an even better instructor. She is great at explaining what she is teaching and has no problem attempting different ways to better insure you understand when you're struggling to grasp something..
I had an amazing experience at Gulf Coast Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu during my vacation! The atmosphere was fantastic—everyone was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The facility was top-notch, and I especially appreciated the option to train in no-gi.
Gulf Coast Jiu Jitsu is a fun loving environment. Lisa is very knowledgeable at her craft and loves the people that she teaches. This academy is kid friendly with positive vibes. Highly recommend.
Took a class here back in May while on vacation in MS. Great NoGi class. Fun rolling with everyone at the end of class too. Definitely check it out if you're around.
New to BJJ? Start at Gulf Coast Jiu Jitsu l #1 Biloxi Gym
Gulf Coast Jiu Jitsu l #1 Biloxi Gym 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 Gulf Coast Jiu Jitsu l #1 Biloxi Gym
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.
