From the reviews
Very cool gym. Took my daughter to the free class that they offer. She liked it but Jiu Jitsu really isn't a girly sport. She is only 6 years old. Only 2-3 girls and rest were boys although there was 1 girl there exact size of my daughter so it was funny.
Friendly environment. Great instructors. Great equipment. Patient while training new comers. My son Brian has Asperger's and needs to build confidence after being bullied in school all his life for being "different". I am well pleased with how they have embraced him. Todd is Amazing and Funny!
I've been going here for a month. The instructors are awesome. All of the members are really solid and friendly. If you are reading this and thinking about coming here, please do. If you are totally new to BJJ this is a very welcoming place. There are a really good variety of skill levels as well as a good variety of..
Mash is an awesome gym no matter where you are on your martial arts journey. I’ve traveled and trained around the country and Mash is among the best gyms I’ve visited. Knowledgeable coaches, clean gym, good competition.
New to BJJ? Start at Mash Gym Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Mash Gym Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Mash Gym Brazilian 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.
