From the reviews
I have been a student at Newborn for about 6 months now and I absolutely LOVE it! James is an outstanding instructor and an overall great person! The gym hosts people from all walks of life and has a very humble and welcoming atmosphere!
I came in to the morning class to ask about their policy regarding drop-ins, I spoke with James and was immediately impressed. The class size, gym cleanliness, mats, all of it was legit. In speaking with James, he asked great qualifying questions regarding my experience and intent.
My wife and I just got married when we started BJJ. We are both outdoor enthusiasts that include rock climbing at the local Wild Walls gym and local crag, to skydiving in the Pacific. What we discovered since going to Newborn is a lot of similarities in personalities that are humble and kind with a good sense of humor.
The moment I stepped into the gym, I was welcomed with open arms. On the first day, I was instantly treated like family by the instructors and students. The students were friendly and were more than willing to help you. The environment is incredible and the attitude is always very positive!
New to BJJ? Start at Newborn Cascao Jiu Jitsu
Newborn Cascao Jiu Jitsu 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 Newborn Cascao 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.
