From the reviews

My husband and I moved from the West Coast and were looking for a quality, established, and competitive gym in the SE region of Mass. We tried out multiple gyms in 40 miles radius and when we walked into BTT Taunton we knew it was the gym for us. Why did we pick this gym?

★★★★★ — Staccia, Jul 2023

I started training at BTT about a month ago. I started with the women's only class that they have on Sunday's and absolutely fell in love with the sport. The ladies were all so friendly and made you feel very welcome. I ended up signing up for a membership after a few weeks and have not regretted it at all!

★★★★★ — Emily, May 2024

When my son was just 4 years old, we decided to enroll him in Jiu Jitsu classes. Initially, we took him to another academy for a free introductory session. Unfortunately, the instructors there told us that our son was not gifted in Jiu Jitsu and that he wasn't mature enough to follow the rules and understand the…

★★★★★ — Renato, Feb 2025

My son has been going for almost 2 months now and each class he is learning more and progressing. He has great professors, coach’s and Jair Morselli is very welcoming, kind and I couldn’t ask for a nicer professor/owner to work with my family.

New to BJJ? Start at Morselli Jiu Jitsu Academy

Morselli Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Morselli 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
