From the reviews
By far one of the most beautiful and clean jiu-jitsu studios l've seen. The atmosphere is very pleasant and an awesome space to train. Professor Marcus is an amazing at what he does and has great jiu-jitsu. If you're looking for a place to train, this is the one!!
Since our son started training at Heritage Jiu Jitsu on opening day, our experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. The instruction here is unmatched compared to other schools we've attended.
We had an awesome experience at Heritage Jiu Jitsu today! I brought my son in for a trial class, and we were both really impressed. Marcus was super welcoming, and the space is beautiful, very clean and well kept, with a great atmosphere.
The owner and head instructor Professor Marcus undoubtedly is one of the best coaches in the area. He's passionate about coaching and has experience in coaching world champions on the biggest stages.
New to BJJ? Start at Heritage Jiu Jitsu Studio
Heritage Jiu Jitsu Studio 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 Heritage Jiu Jitsu Studio
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.
