From the reviews
Coach Stan and his amazing team of coaches has made for an amazing learning environment for my kids to learn BJJ. Also, so many of the older (more knowledgeable) kids have such a great attitude while showing the younger (not as knowledgeable) but still providing a challenge for them to work through.
***OUTSTANDING atmosphere and instruction!*** I visited here from out of town and trained as a guest. Stan Jr. (owner’s son) taught and the instruction was detailed, practical, and easy to digest. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and many students even introduced themselves prior to warm-ups.
I really had a blast tonight the instructors are really friendly and everyone I trained with are awesome I would recommend to anyone who's interested to try out midsouth lcct brazilian jiu jitsu academy
I enrolled my son the month after he turned 4 years old and he now has been a part of this amazing family for close to one year. That was by far the best investment for my son. He looks forward to class every week and he is like a little sponge.
New to BJJ? Start at Midsouth LCCT Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Midsouth LCCT Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Midsouth LCCT Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
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.
