From the reviews

It’s awesome to have a second location to do jiujitsu in. It’s very spacious, and on Sunday, it’s a great time to work on different techniques and just have fun matches with each other.

I very rarely write reviews, but if a place is exceptional, well... I make an exception. I have 14 years of previous martial arts experience, but I took a long break before looking into BJJ.

★★★★★ — Kara, Dec 2025

5/5 stars! I recently had the pleasure of training at Hyattsville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu | GF Team DC Hyattsville, and I couldn't be more impressed. Omar's kindness, welcoming nature, and embodiment of the Jiu-Jitsu spirit made for an exceptional class experience.

Your first BJJ class at Hyattsville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu | GF Team DC Hyattsville

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.
