From the reviews
I have been to a bunch of gyms all over the US, Coach Nate's teaching style is great for the beginner all the way to the advanced skill level. Luiz Paulo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great environment to learn, grow, and compete at the highest level.
I have been training with Nate for over a year and he has absolutely elevated my Jiu Jitsu game. Whether you’re brand new to the sport, or have been training for a while Nate has the Jiu Jitsu knowledge to find or improve your game. His attention to detail and work ethic are unparalleled.
As an active jiu jitsu competitor, one thing I have learned is the importance of the professor and the gym you train at. I have been training with Nate for over 2 years and I don’t have enough great things to say about him.
Coach Hays is easily the best instructor I have had in any discipline. The amount of knowledge and escoerience I gained under his tutelage were invaluable. He dedicated so much of his time to help a group of us through a critical period in our lives, I could never forget it.
New to BJJ? Start at Luiz Paulo Jiu Jitsu - West Bridgewater MA
Luiz Paulo Jiu Jitsu - West Bridgewater MA 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 - West Bridgewater MA
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.
