From the reviews
I’ve been training for 17 years and I can say it’s one of the best gyms I’ve trained at. Over the years, I’ve realized that more important than anything else, is the environment created by the instructors and staff.
I can’t say enough great things about Hybrid Jiu Jitsu. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed—whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience on the mats. The atmosphere is positive, respectful, and super motivating. Raquel and Renato are incredible instructors.
Hybrid Jiu Jitsu is for everyone. The culture that Coaches Renato and Raquel (Paaluhi) Canuto have fostered at their academy is welcoming, safe and tailored to all Jiu Jitsu levels.
Moved to Las Vegas in 2020 already was hyped to train with Renato and Raquel! Not only they got the technique for regular training and competition they got some swagiii style to it definitely check it out. Everybody who trains at hybrid is chill and super friendly if you slide through come say whatitdo yee yee
New to BJJ? Start at HYBRID JIUJITSU
HYBRID JIUJITSU 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 HYBRID JIUJITSU
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.
