From the reviews
My 9yo son has been in BJJ for almost 2½ years now. He has joined multiple gyms trying to find the right fit in that time. Theres a combination of schedule, price, distance, etc. that have to make sense and be right. And it takes some time like any relationship to find the right one.
Doing it right. As a visitor from Temecula, CA I made sure to attend the AM beginners and Advanced Gi classes. I could tell throughout my experience that they’re setting a great culture. Fun regular students. Coach Luke gave great technical advice with good patience and made sure to visit each group doing drills.
I had an absolutely incredible experience at King’sWay Jiu-Jitsu. The facility was spotless and looked extremely up to date. The mats were in fantastic condition and clearly well cared for. You can tell the owners take real pride in maintaining a top-tier training environment.
My daughters (11 and 13yrs) and I were guests at Kingsway for 4 wks. Excellent training environment and instructors, beautiful brand new facility, and plenty of mat space. Shoutout to the kids instructors (Reese/Landon/Andrew) who did a phenomenal job with my girls.
New to BJJ? Start at Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu
Kingsway 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 Kingsway 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.
