From the reviews
We flew to Florida from Hawaii for 2023 IBJJF Pan Kids and this gym was one the most welcoming gyms we’ve come across . We were treated as family from the second we walked in . The coaches were thorough with their instruction and made sure everyone understood the technique and application.
From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive, and the coaches are not only incredibly talented but also down-to-earth and friendly. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this gym makes you feel like part of the family. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience. The instructors here are top notch and taught me so much in just 5 classes. I feel myself getting stronger and growing with this gym. They also have a fitness center separate from the gym. Very nice facility. I’m getting all of my friends and family to sign up.
Had a great time training at my cousin's jiu jitsu gym! The space is clean, the environment is welcoming, and the training is top-notch. Whether you're just starting or have experience, I highly recommend checking them out!
New to BJJ? Start at New Journey Jiu Jitsu & Grappling LLC
New Journey Jiu Jitsu & Grappling LLC 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 New Journey Jiu Jitsu & Grappling LLC
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.
