From the reviews
This is not a friend or family review, but after a few months of my son in their class it feels like we might be! From day one these guys and all category students are encouraging, patient (specially patient) supportive, professional, respectful and thrive to teach the same. All positive progress.
I can confidently say that it is a remarkable jiu jitsu academy. The training I received there exceeded all my expectations and left me thoroughly impressed. The instructors are truly exceptional. Their deep knowledge, expertise, and dedication to the art of jiu jitsu are evident in every class.
This place is the best. Coach Joao and Fred are super helpful in teaching the various techniques and create a great learning environment. It is a real community/family feel in the gym and everyone is always very welcoming. No better place to train and very happy I started my BJJ journey off here.
The Moncaio Brothers are true Masters of their vocation. There is the sanctity of inclusiveness and sense of community that is offered here. Stellar instruction is given and high quality, technical partners to drill with.
New to BJJ? Start at Moncaio Brothers | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing Gym
Moncaio Brothers | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing Gym 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 Moncaio Brothers | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing Gym
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.
