From the reviews
Enrolled the kids about six weeks ago and they are really enjoying their martial arts classes. From a parent perspective, I like how helpful the instructors and other students are during classes - everyone is focused on helping each other do better and advance.
My daughter has been attending classes for roughly 8 months and she loves it! She is learning to be as patient with herself as with others. Jack knows how to safely push the students outside of their comfort zone while while keeping them safe.
Gracious. Kind. Thoughtful. All words I wouldn’t have expected to use in my review of MAO when I signed up for Jiu Jitsu. However, they are all well earned. A warm thank you to everyone from the owner (Jack), Tommy (instructor) and all the other students that have been unbelievably patient with someone that has never…
I have had nothing but amazing experiences here. My confidence has increased, I have managed to lose weight with the kickboxing class and it is by far the best place to train martial arts. You will not only feel like family but you will feel better about yourself too.
Your first BJJ class at Kent 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.
