From the reviews

I think it's really sad that people who are not involved with Longview Martial Arts are giving poor reviews. I've spent a lot of time waiting around their facility, and it's about the most positive place you could send your child. They help children develop discipline, skills, and self-esteem.

★★★★★ — Chris, Dec 2024

My son loves the classes. It’s a good way to build confidence, exercise discipline & burn off energy.

★★★★★ — Kara, Dec 2025

The training staff is the greatest Ive ever seen. Its the lady who accepts the payments. I was told at first that I would have make-up classes when tournaments and holidays came around. She said she would even text me the days I had of make up time.

★★★★★ — April, Jun 2023

My daughter started Taekwondo here when she was six, and she’s loved it ever since. She’s learned good manners, how to respect others, and she’s made a bunch of friends too. On school holidays, she goes to their day camps and always comes home tired but super happy.

Your first BJJ class at Longview Martial Arts Academy

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.
