From the reviews
North East BJJ MMA is an excellent place to learn and develop new skills, build self confidence, discipline and have fun while going through the process. Instructors are great! I would not want to be learning anywhere else. I recommend anyone come by and try a few classes, it will not disappoint Greg A
This place is amazing. Brand new and super clean. Instructors are top notch. It’s located in a really cool area with great views of the water. From advanced to beginners there is something for everybody. They have classes for all ages. Highly recommend dropping in and taking a class.
You’re gonna see and read how great the instructors are, which they are, and how great the jiu-jitsu is, which it is, but what I’ve gotten the most from BJJ with NorthEast BJJ & Rob Lauth is a place to call home. A group of guys and girls that you would go to battle for no questions asked.
Great atmosphere, with great coaches. Great for all skill levels. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get started in MMA or to for anyone looking for a new place to train. Coaches also offer private sessions with clients and are very reliable with times and scheduling.
New to BJJ? Start at North East BJJ MMA
North East BJJ MMA 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 North East BJJ MMA
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.
