From the reviews
I was extremely nervous and didn’t know what to expect going into the class and I have never done anytype of defensive classes but the coach literally had no problem walking with me side by side to walk me through the steps when I wasn’t getting it everyone was extremely nice friendly and welcoming! I really enjoyed it
This is more than just a gym, it’s a heartfelt community filled with incredible people who truly care. It’s a place where family bonds are formed, and every individual is united by the relentless desire to grow stronger, improve a little more each day.
I turned 40 this year and wanted to give Jiu-jitsu a try. Although I looked at a few other schools, this one was vary welcoming, unlike some of the others. I walked through techniques and safety. Everyone was helpful and genuinely happy to have me there.
This school is fantastic for beginners, providing a welcoming and supportive environment for learning jiu-jitsu. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in the fundamentals of jiu-jitsu.
New to BJJ? Start at Humble Roots Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-San Antonio
Humble Roots Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-San Antonio comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Humble Roots Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-San Antonio
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.
