From the reviews
Great people. Great atmosphere. The coaches here are invested in the students. The focus on character above all else is refreshing. If you are looking for a place to learn BJJ, look no further.
Professor Rob is like no other! He knows every student, every student’s journey, and he knows how to run a Jiu Jitsu academy at its finest. His professors and coaches under him are beyond the scope of incredible at their crafts.
Leverage really is the best jiu-jitsu school in our area. We have knowledgeable instructors who genuinely care about the students. It's a clean environment, and there are classes every day of the week.
As a mother of two young girls, we have always been encourage and welcomed here. My husband has attended for years and now our 6 year old daughter, with the 4 year old on the waiting list. They have live videos going while they are in the building and welcome spectators.
Your first BJJ class at Leverage 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.
