From the reviews
I’ve been training at Maloney’s Jiu-Jitsu for a while now, and it has been an incredible experience! From day one, the coach and members have made me feel welcomed and supported. The instruction is top-notch, with a perfect balance of technical expertise and real-world application.
Bob is an excellent instructor and I'm lucky to have had him introduce me to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He's very detailed and thorough, but also helps you understand why each step you're learning is important. Great, stand-up guy and he fosters an environment that makes you feel like part of a family.
This is an awesome gym. I would highly recommend training here. Bob Maloney is a very knowledgeable and experienced in jiu jitsu. He helped me a lot with understanding and training jiu jitsu.
It’s been a few years since I trained with Bob Maloney, but his passion as a coach for the art of technique and timing over size and strength is what I credit for my continuing pursuit of Jiu Jitsu - I’m hooked. If you have the chance to train with Bob - don’t miss out!
New to BJJ? Start at Maloney's Jiu Jitsu
Maloney's 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 Maloney's 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.
