From the reviews
I'm new to BJJ. Impact JJ was my first drop-in. I called ahead and spoke with Bliss. Phone calls are the initial outreach and Bliss was friendly and helpful (that's what I want to hear on the phone, so, well done). I was greeted by friendly folks when I walked in the door one of whom was Bliss.
This is the place to train. People take jiujitsu seriously here but still have tons of fun. Super clean place to train, with friendly staff. Deep knowledge of jiu-jitsu and mma at this gym. You know this is the place to be because your instructors never stop training.
I’ve been going to this Jiu Jitsu academy for a little over two years now. The coaches are dope, the community is swag, and the facilities are always so well kept and clean. This place hits! If you’re on the fence about attending your class, take the plunge!
Wicked cool gym! The set up was super neat and the mats were definitely nice. I loved how everyone was vibing and how professional the black belts and instructors were. I love how they have sign in stations. I thought the black belt for no gi in particular was super funny and impressive. Also!
New to BJJ? Start at Impact Jiu Jitsu
Impact Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Impact 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.
