Amazing gym with outstanding culture! Came in with a friend who wanted to try it and ended being the one that stayed haha! Really enjoyed training with coaches Jen and Russell. They teach great jiu jitsu with great patience. Their techniques are above many, many gym.

I've meet Russell a few times and followed his game from brown belt to black belt. Not only is he a great person, but he's also devoted to his craft and teaching it to others. He believes in both self-defense and competition jiu jitsu; which is essential for everyone considering training.

★★★★★ — Daniel, May 2017

Your first BJJ class at Hustle 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. 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.
