From the reviews
Our family has been part of Honor Roll BJJ for over three years, and the experience has been nothing short of incredible. From day one, Professor Bruno and his wife Isabella welcomed us with open arms.
Professor Bruno Antunes and Honor Roll BJJ has become a huge part of my family's lives for many years as we all started our journey as white belts. My wife and I are now brown belts! Our son and daughter started first and then my wife and I joined after and we all couldn't be happier.
When I first joined the Honor Roll BJJ I immediately felt like I was part of the family. With my busy schedule Bruno holds me accountable to my promise and commitment. I’m totally new to this world! I understand Bruno and his team have a ton of students but they make an effort to get to know me personally.
I have had my 8 and 4 year old boys training here for almost a year now. The family atmosphere they have developed here is second to none. I have seen both my boys thrive in Ju Jitsu but also socially with the other great kids they train with.
New to BJJ? Start at Honor Roll Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Honor Roll Brazilian 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 Honor Roll 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.
