From the reviews

I put out some feelers on the best studio around and basically everyone pointed me towards Omega, and for good reason. The instructors are great, the place is clean, and the students are really focused. I'm VERY late to the fighting game; 37 but when I started, I fit right in.

★★★★★ — Bradley, Oct 2020

Both my sons take classes at J Park TKD. My oldest is on the black belt club and I enjoy watching him learn and develop more into a self discipline individual. They both also attend the afterschool program and holiday break programs offered by the center.

★★★★★ — Deejay, Jan 2015

I took my first Jiu Jitsu class ever here recently and it has been so fun! As a beginner I was welcomed with open arms by Master Tommy and all of the others taking the class. Master Tommy & the others training there are so encouraging and helpful.

New to BJJ? Start at Omega Jiu-Jitsu

Omega Jiu-Jitsu 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 Omega 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.
