From the reviews

JC is a great human being, down to earth, humble individual. The room is divided into adults and children of all ages. Everyday you'll be tested and the knowledge one receives from JC, is incredible. If you are looking for something new like I was or even competition, I highly recommend training with team Llamas.

★★★★★ — Raul, Dec 2018

I was skeptical about this place but it turned out to be great! You get treated like family great atmosphere. My son had training within 3 months and won his first MMA fight. JC comes from humble beginnings and cares for his students. I highly recommend Llamas Competition. Come by and give it a try.

Your first BJJ class at Llamas Competition Team Martial Arts and Fitness

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
