Very wonderful, clean place to teach your kids self defense, self control, discipline, resilience, physical fitness, and community! Instructors are patient, kind, firm, organized, community/family oriented and they are fun.

★★★★★ — Jayne, Aug 2024

Hands down a wonderful place to be! Our boys started jujitsu in December 2024 and we are not looking back! The environment is like no other we have had our boys be a part of. The teachers are amazing. You get to try a class for free before you even sign up. The skills they have learned in such a short time!

★★★★★ — Kelly, Mar 2025

I am a proud new member of this Gym and it’s absolutely AMAZING!!! The support and encouragement from not only the instructors but the members is extremely refreshing. 10/10 I recommend this gym and honestly can not stop bragging about it to my friends.

New to BJJ? Start at Orion Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Orion Brazilian 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 Orion Brazilian 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.
