From the reviews
This is a great Jiu Jitsu school. The facilities are first class and very clean. Professor Italo is as knowledgeable as they come and pays attention to individual needs. There’s a great kids class for the younger crowd as well as several opportunities for adults with different scheduling needs to train.
I am new to the Bentonville area, so I knew immediately I needed to find a new place to train! (I am a blue belt from a previous academy out of Las Vegas) I texted the phone number listed on Overcome's website on a Sunday and almost immediately received a response welcoming me to trial their gym.
I can't say enough good things about the Jiu-Jitsu classes for kids and Women classes at Overcome Jiu-Jitsu School. My 7-year-old Evelyn has been attending these classes for several months now, and the progress and growth I've witnessed are truly remarkable. First and foremost, the instructors are great!
There are too many great things to say about this gym. The first thing that stands out when you walk in is the level of cleanliness. The bold choice of white mats shows their dedication to keeping everything clean and sanitary.
New to BJJ? Start at Overcome Brazilian jiu-jitsu - Bentonville
Overcome Brazilian jiu-jitsu - Bentonville 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 Overcome Brazilian jiu-jitsu - Bentonville
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.
