From the reviews
Luiz and all his staff are incredibly professional. They have made my son and I feel at home at every class. Coach Tony and coach A have an incredible method with the kids in west Bridgewater. My son can't wait for Tuesday and Thursday nights. The adult classes have changed me as a person.
The gym is great. The people are great. The atmosphere is great. Every day you come, you can expect to learn. You can expect to train. You can expect to grow and get better. Luiz cares about his students and wants everyone to reach their full potential. That is what matters most to me in any gym I go to.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Luiz Paulo Jiu-Jitsu team is awesome! If you’re looking for a place to train, improve your jiu-jitsu, and be part of a great community, this is the place to go. Whether you train just for fun or want to compete, they’ve got you covered.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at Luiz Paulo Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, supportive, and kind from day one. I was very impressed by the positive atmosphere and the sense of family within the academy. Professor Diego has been extremely helpful, patient, and encouraging throughout my journey.
New to BJJ? Start at Luiz Paulo Jiu Jitsu
Luiz Paulo 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 Luiz Paulo 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.
