From the reviews
Honestly, I had such a great experience. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming from the start. The coaches were really supportive and patient, and helped me a lot. Everyone there was also very kind and always trying to help, which made everything even better.
This is the fourth gym I’ve trained at, and without a doubt it’s my favorite. Brad has a very well-structured and advanced teaching system that makes every class both effective and enjoyable.
Spent the last two months at Juggernaut while traveling for work. Highlights: - Was able to do a week-long trial. This was important in ensuring I could be consistent through the week. - Welcoming atmosphere. Professor Brad and the upper belts are knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious.
Absolutely top-tier BJJ gym for kids and families! My kids have been training here for a while now, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of discipline, respect, and confidence they’ve gained. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about the growth of each student on and off the mats.
New to BJJ? Start at Juggernaut Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Juggernaut Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Juggernaut Brazilian 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.
