From the reviews
I have two girls that go to the homeschool group on Monday and Wednesday. These coaches are amazing and take their time to make sure the kids know the correct and safe way to do each thing. This is a truly amazing place for adults and kids. I wouldn't want my kids to go anywhere else.
I moved to Florida 2 years ago, the first thing I did when I got down here was look desperately for a new Jiu Jitsu school. Instead I found a group of people that I consider family now. Everyone from the owners, the teachers and students are amazing people.
For all levels ! Want to try something new? Come drop in and see what we're about. Whether you're a local, or trying to find a gym while visiting, competitors, or hobbyists alike have a place here! There are classes for every age and practice, mma, cardio, private lessons, Bjj, wrestling. Humble Grounds has it all !
My son recently started BJJ classes here and he loves it!! I can see the difference in his self-confidence already. I highly recommend HumbleGrounds for all ages. The instructors are professional, experienced, and make you feel like family. It's a 40 minute drive for me and worth every minute!!
New to BJJ? Start at HumbleGrounds Jiu Jitsu Academy
HumbleGrounds Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 HumbleGrounds Jiu Jitsu Academy
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.
