From the reviews
Austin is a fantastic teacher. He is incredibly knowledgeable,as well as passionate, about BJJ. Classes are fun, but informative, and everyone gets a good workout. His facility is clean and welcoming. Whether you're looking for kids or adult class, I would highly recommend.
Eye opening. After just one class I quickly realized my lack of experience in the area of self defense. Laid back atmosphere, good group of guys, experienced instructors who are respectful teachers. Would definitely recommend.
The instructor loves bjj and its constantly studying and perfecting what he knows. His care for his students is everything you would want in an instructor.
Instructor is great. Awesome place to come and learn BJJ. Can’t say enough good things
Your first BJJ class at Midwest 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.
