From the reviews

This is the most welcoming group of outstanding people. Welcomed the old guy aka Grandpa 3 years ago and have not looked back. Excellent instruction and a true family/brotherhood experience. From kids to adult to competition classes. The instructors care about improvement not matter the skill level.

★★★★★ — Mike, Apr 2025

I have only good things to say about this academy. Everyone is welcoming and the Jiu-Jitsu instruction is great. I tried out their judo class today...I've never tried judo before, but they've opened up a new world to me and I don't feel like I got hit by a bus afterwards because they take into consideration keeping…

★★★★★ — Gene, Jul 2022

I’ve spent about two months training at this gym with no prior martial arts experience. I was welcomed as a newby with no hesitation. The instructors are very experienced, and professional. It’s a great place to train BJJ.

Your first BJJ class at Jeffersonville Jiu Jitsu Academy

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.
