From the reviews
My son absolutely loves this Jungle Gym! The instructors are incredibly patient, friendly, and supportive. They make every class fun while also teaching discipline and confidence. It’s amazing to see how much he’s grown, both in skill and self-esteem. I’m so grateful for the positive environment they’ve created.
What an experience! As a parent you only want the best for your child. The best decision was enrolling him into the New Rochelle Jungle Gym. Coach Patrick and his staff are very patient, kind and knowledgeable with all the students and parents.
My daughter has had such an amazing experience in this martial arts class. From the very first day, the instructors have been welcoming, patient, and incredibly supportive. They take the time to make sure each child understands the techniques while also building confidence and discipline.
I can’t say enough great things about Jungle Gym! They are truly amazing — and most of all, patient. My 3-year-old daughter goes here, and it was definitely a challenge at first. But the instructors always reassured me that with consistency and patience she would get used to it, and they were right.
New to BJJ? Start at Jungle Gym Martial Arts
Jungle Gym Martial Arts 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 Jungle Gym Martial Arts
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.
