★★★★★ — Ron, Sep 2017

My journey at Huard's started 12 years ago at age 46. Along the way I've learned so much about myself and have become a better person in all areas of my life. Martial arts teaches us to break down our personal barriers and expand our minds.

★★★★★ — Jeff, Aug 2017

Very knowledgeable in the arts. Friendly atmosphere. I'm 45. Started last June in the MMA class. I can't believe how far I've come on my personal journey. My wife sees a change in my over all attitude. I feel happier inside. Before I had a lot of anger always trying to fight someone. Now I'm just more laid back.

★★★★★ — Eric, Mar 2022

Weve had our kids in many different activities throughout the year, but nothing has enriched and bettered our childrens lives more than Huards. My daughter enthusiastically practices at home without being asked (a first in our home) she loves being on a class but also that if she really works at it that it can show in…

Your first BJJ class at Huard's Ju-Jitsu and Karate, Inc.

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
