From the reviews
Nothing like I have ever seen before! Kids, adults, everyone together in this amazing family environment learning together, respecting each other and growing together. Simply amazing. Would recommend it to literally anyone! You get much more out of it than just what you learn in the mat.
Very professional, clean and welcoming place. I love training here and learning new techniques all the time. such an awesome gym to be part of.
My wife and I joined the Morumbi family close to 2-1/2 years ago and couldn't be happier with that choice. Professor Fabio and his team are truly in a league of their own when it comes to creating a warm, inviting, and genuine environment to learn, train, and grow through teachings and applications from one of the…
My family has been training at Morumbi for over 4 years, and all of us love it! The culture that they have created here is one of respect and a very welcoming learning environment.
New to BJJ? Start at Morumbi Jiu Jitsu & Fitness Academy - Thousand Oaks
Morumbi Jiu Jitsu & Fitness Academy - Thousand Oaks 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 Morumbi Jiu Jitsu & Fitness Academy - Thousand Oaks
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.
