From the reviews
Highly recommend this gym for beginners and advanced participants. Since my daughter joined Anger and working with Coach Cristo's she has placed in every competion she has competed in.
Anger is an excellent, clean, professional gym. When my 6 year old son joined this past winter he had been training Jiu Jitsu for about a year. Coach Christos has elevated my son’s abilities both mentally and physically in a remarkable time frame.
The best place for children to learn the art of BJJ. Cristos is impressive on the mat, but gifted as an instructor. The level of passion, creativity, and work he gets these kids to show on the mat is amazing. The children the attend the school regularly are a sight to behold when on the mat.
This gym has been a gem for my family. My son is brand new to jiu jitsu, Christos and Rodrigo have been extremely patient instructors with him and are very knowledgeable in the sport. So happy this gym opened up in our town! Looking forward to its growth!
New to BJJ? Start at Kairos Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Kairos Brazilian 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 Kairos 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.
