From the reviews
Jordan communicates techniques and concepts very clearly to his students. Highly recommend.
I've been going to class now for more than a month. The instructors are well trained and good at what they do. I have learned so much already after only being there for a little over a month. I strongly recommend this class if you want to learn a great skill and get in shape. It's one hell of a workout.
Jordan is an awesome and very knowledgeable instructor who devotes a lot of time and energy into his students' learning. He is there to help everyone succeed, and this is evident with the extra time he gives everyone. This is a great place and I highly recommend being a part of this gym!
Great place to train. Jordan runs a quality gym. Good technique, good rolls, quality instruction, safe, terrific group of men and women. Little hidden BJJ gem in Streator.
Your first BJJ class at Hardscrabble Jiu Jitsu
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.
