From the reviews
Maracaba is an amazing family community with top notch coaching and coaches that truly care. I played pro sports for 10 years and the only camaraderie that was even close was my two Super Bowl teams. Maracaba literally saved me from destruction & gave me something to focus on daily.
My son has been attending Maracaba BJJ for two years now…starting when he was four. The kids coaches are patient and work closely with the students, even the young kids. This dedication to instruction and learning is attributed to the head Instructor, André Maracaba.
Maracaba BJJ is an outstanding place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced practitioner, the instruction is tailored for your training needs in the 10am and 5:30pm mixed level classes as well as the 6:30pm fundamental class.
I have been training under Andre with the Maracaba family for more than 12 years. He truly cares about his students and his passion for and knowledge of the art of BJJ is unparalleled in the state.
Your first BJJ class at Maracaba BJJ
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.
