From the reviews
Been attending weekly classes at Highlight for about 5 months now. As a woman who did not grow up having to physically protect herself from the world this form of martial art gives me sooooo much confidence.
Highlight BJJ has been my home gym since August 2022, and I couldn’t imagine training anywhere else. I originally joined for a weight loss challenge, but I completely fell in love with jiu-jitsu.
Highlight is our home away from home. When we first heard Professor Alyn at an in-house tournament, we were immediately drawn to his passion for his competitors. We joined Highlight soon after, and have been very grateful since.
I started my BJJ journey 6 months ago and I am so thankful I chose this gym! When I first started I had no idea what I would be walking into but from day 1 everyone including professor Alyn created such a fun and competitive environment where we all get better every day.
Your first BJJ class at Highlight Brazilian 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.
