From the reviews
Training here for a little over 2 years. This place has the best atmosphere out of any bjj gym I have been to. Great variety is offered here I have trained the kickboxing class and enjoyed those as well.
I have trained at a few places before i came across Maxum bjj. It didn’t take long for owners Joe and Alex to make me to feel welcome or even part of the family. High level instructions with great training partners that will push you beyond your limits.
If your looking for the best quality in martial arts and instruction, this is the place to be! From a wide variety of programs like brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing, kickboxing for people of all ages they supply a safe and friendly environment to lean. Take a few classes, you're guaranteed to get hooked!
Awesome instructors, friendly environment is what sums up this school. Place is not just a Brazilian jiu jitsu school, its a second home. The wrestling, boxing, kickboxing and kids programs here are awesome and have produced state champs and professional mma fighters.
New to BJJ? Start at Maxum Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Maxum Brazilian 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 Maxum 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.
