From the reviews
Highstreet Jiu Jitsu has been one of the best choices I’ve made. The vibes are amazing and everyone’s there to get better. The coaches really stand out they actually care, take their time helping you understand, and push you in the right way. You can tell they want to see you improve.
I attended High Street's grand opening today. I have been training a long time, and have visited many gyms. The Shellhammers, Karla and Jay, have opened up a fantastic gym. It is clean, modern, and is set in a very nice commercial district. However, of the utmost importance is the gym vibe.
High Street jiu jitsu is a new excellent facility that is structured to cater to the whole family. The atmosphere that this gym provides is very clean and refreshing. A very knowledgeable and professional coaching staff. It provides all the bells and whistles one can expect.
High Street Jiu Jitsu is truly something special. The coaching staff are some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met, not just on the mats, but in life. Their knowledge, patience, and genuine care for every person who walks through the door sets this place apart in a way that’s hard to put into words.
New to BJJ? Start at High Street Jiu Jitsu
High Street Jiu Jitsu 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 High Street 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.
