From the reviews
We came to NXG because 2 different families recommended the gym and Coach Michael. We love that we are able to train together as a family in the AM class that accommodates homeschool families and nightshirt workers. We also love that the fee is for unlimited classes and open gym, you can’t beat that.
A great environment of community, values, and camaraderie. All of the instructors/coaching staff are wonderful people that genuinely care about pursuing excellence!you truly feel like family here!
My elementary aged son was having behavioral issues at school and I needed a place that would reinforce the values and discipline we seek to instill at home. So I enrolled both my sons. In the year since joining we’ve seen remarkable growth in them both.
NXG is an incredible place to train! The coaches are phenomenal, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it truly feels like family. We’ve been training here for almost three years, and now our whole family is involved!
New to BJJ? Start at NXG Combat Sports & Martial Arts
NXG Combat Sports & Martial Arts 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 NXG Combat Sports & Martial Arts
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.
