From the reviews
Im 58 years old and came to Lucero BJJ nearly 3 years ago a walking dead man as diabetes was out of control. Iwas given a direction, followed it and am in way better shape than I was. Im also a veteran and am well respected here.
I’ve trained jiu jitsu for 12 years. Moving across country and finding a new gym was nerve wracking. I knew the second I walked into Lucero, I had found my new jiu jitsu home. Rick is the most knowledgeable instructor I’ve ever met. The whole team is amazing.
Great environment, all skill levels from enthusiasts to fighters. Professor lucero is also great with kids my 12 yr.old has been going for over a year.

New to BJJ? Start at Lucero Jiu-Jitsu Academy
Lucero Jiu-Jitsu Academy 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 Lucero Jiu-Jitsu 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.
