From the reviews
l've been training here for a few months now and I genuinely look forward to every class. The instructors are super knowledgeable, patient, and great at making everyone -- from total beginners to seasoned grapplers --feel welcome and challenged in the best way.
I’ve been training here regularly for the past few months and it’s been an amazing experience. Coach Henry and Coach Val are extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about their students’ progress. If you or anyone you know has been thinking about starting jiu jitsu, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!
My daughter (6 yo) has been going consistently for a few months. Her ability to handle herself on the play yard has improved. She has a little more confidence when the adults aren’t around :) thank you coach Henry !
I love this gym. Great place to train, the coaches are so knowledgeable and the environment is fun and welcoming for all levels
New to BJJ? Start at HumanArtwork Jiu Jitsu
HumanArtwork 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 HumanArtwork 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.
