From the reviews
I found One World Jiu-jitsu through Yelp as I was researching for BJJ schools upon moving to Union City. After taking the free introductory courses, I was hooked! I've been training at this school for over 2 years now and I can't imagine myself training anywhere else.
One World is an amazing place. The two black belts, Mike Prudencio and Fooki, are great professors. I admire their ability to teach, to convey concepts and principles that can be applied to a variety of situations. They exhibit a great sense of openness, allowing for a diversity of styles, and preferences.
My husband Mike and I walked into One World Jiu Jitsu Academy several years back and knew this is where he wanted to teach. At that point they were still finishing up the paint and hadn't even put in the mats yet. But we could already sense that this is where he belonged.
Well, I have trained at a few different gyms during my bjj career from San Diego to Stockton and Oneworld is one of the best. There is always ample time given to open mat training (45min-1 hour or more) at every class after some good instruction and drilling.
New to BJJ? Start at One World Jiu Jitsu
One World 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 One World 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.
