From the reviews
I got the chance to restart my BJJ journey after a 6.5 year hiatus and I was fortunate to step into Hydra as it reconnected me with two of my favorite people that have impacted and nourished my BJJ life in a big way. The atmosphere, the facility, and especially the people make this place a great choice to train.
Ive been going here for over a year and gladly signed up for another after experiencing how much value this place provides. Safety is a priority here from how clean the facillities are to how much care the training partners and coachs provide.
Legitimate school with incredible coaches and professor. Myself, father and 3 year old son train here. The best part about learning jiu-jitsu here is the welcoming family vibe we all share, Everyone is treated the same, no matter the level you’re at. Highly recommend to anyone who’s interested.
Hydra jiu-jitsu is an amazing place with amazing trainers. They are amazing with the children, teaching self defense and self discipline while helping build confidence. They are very welcoming and drive a strong sense of family and community. My son has really blossomed and built lasting friendships.
Your first BJJ class at Hydra 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 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.
