From the reviews
I can’t say enough great things about this jiu-jitsu gym. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into a truly supportive and uplifting community. The environment is positive, respectful, and encouraging which is perfect for anyone looking to grow both on and off the mats.
I’ve been training jiu jitsu for over 5 years and I feel so blessed to have found One Jiu Jitsu a couple months ago. I’ve felt welcomed ever since stepping foot in here for the first time. One Jiu Jitsu’s gym hygiene is top notch: not only is it kept clean, but it also is very well organized.
Before arriving, I spoke with the academy’s owner, Rob to inquire about class times and drop in fees. Despite my offer to pay a drop in free, he insisted the class would be free. Not only that, but when I arrived in a black gi, he allowed me to borrow a white gi to comply with the academy’s uniform code.
My daughter absolutely loves her jiu-jitsu classes with Teacher Ninette! She is incredibly kind, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to help her students improve. Her teaching style is not only effective but also creates a welcoming and encouraging environment.
New to BJJ? Start at One Jiu Jitsu Redlands
One Jiu Jitsu Redlands 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 One Jiu Jitsu Redlands
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.
