From the reviews

I've always been interested in learning martial arts, but life got in the way. When I enrolled my 4yo son in the dojo's Little Ninja Class I also enrolled myself in the adult class. Sensei Thomas and Sensei Francois are very patient, engaging, and fun to work with in class (kids & adults).

It was the best decision I ever made to train at New Vision Academy of Jiu Jitsu with Sunse François and Sunse Thomas. They make Jiu Jitsu look easy and fun to learn. They are very professional, patient. They always come prepared and ready to share their knowledge, skills and experiences with us.

As a mom I was a little reluctant because I was worried about my babies’ safety! Turns out, I didn’t need to worry. New Vision Academy has a familial and collegial environment. I want my children to have the confidence to defend themselves if necessary, while exhibiting restraint.

★★★★★ — Heather, Jan 2024

All three of my daughters attend this school and the love it! The instructors are kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. The environment was perfect for beginners and now they are seasoned veterans. My daughters have discipline, focus, and a love for physical fitness. New Vision Academy is an outstanding school!

Your first BJJ class at New Vision Academy of 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.

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.
