From the reviews
It's a very friendly atmosphere! Especially as a girl it can be intimidating to start jiu jitsu but I couldn't be more happy I found this place. John is a great teacher and has a very balanced teaching style, covering the basics and providing more for those who are more advanced or want to learn more.
I have to start off by saying, I was not expecting to be as interested in learning Jiu-Jitsu as I am now. We have been coming here as a family for half a year now and it's awesome. Jon has a great way of teaching that is intriguing and practical at the same time.
All around amazing atmosphere, jiu-jitsu John is a top tier coach, well rounded in traditional and modern techniques. On top of everything the facility offers cold plunge, sauna, breath work, and many different physical workouts to benefit from, it’s a business you walk in as a customer and leave feeling like a friend!
Genuinely cannot speak highly enough about this place (alongside Ben and John)! They run such a well thought-out and efficient business yet maintain an approachable and friendly atmosphere. The place just quite simply has good vibes, and I truly feel comfortable doing jiu jitsu there!
New to BJJ? Start at Lewisburg Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Lewisburg 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 Lewisburg 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.
