From the reviews
I’m so excited to see Metro open a SECOND location! The space is absolutely amazing—bright, clean, and spacious, creating the perfect environment to train. One thing I really appreciate is how Coach David adjusts the room temperature.
Awesome coaches and students at all levels. I highly recommend this for anyone at any age or experience level. My 10 year old daughter started with their summer camp and now loves jiu jitsu. She is getting great exercise and self confidence while learning to pay attention and give maximum effort.
Coach David and Metro Jiu-Jitsu are amazing! From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming, motivating, and professional. Coach David is not only an expert in jiu-jitsu, but also an excellent teacher who breaks down techniques clearly and pushes you to be your best.
Metro Jiu Jitsu has fostered a culture of hard work and family. I am extremely happy a second location in Westland/Canton has been opened! The mats are fresh, the building is in great shape and the location is ideal for a jiu jitsu gym. I would definitely reccomend checking out the Westland/Canton location!
New to BJJ? Start at Metro Jiu-Jitsu - Westland
Metro Jiu-Jitsu - Westland 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 Metro Jiu-Jitsu - Westland
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.
