From the reviews
Professor Dan Medina and Professor Magno Gama have created a great culture at Oyster Bay Jiu Jitsu. My 16 yr. old son and I are new students and we felt welcomed on the first day. The Professors communicate a philosophy that goes beyond just learning a self-defense technique.
A Thank You to Professors Magno, Dan, and Niko I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Professors Magno, Dan, and Niko for making my first year of Jiu-Jitsu such a special and transformative experience.
Oyster Bay Jiu Jitsu is an amazing place! Professor Magno and Professor Dan have an astounding touch when it comes to children. They bring an interactive and creative learning environment for each of their students. Both of my children 7 and 8 year old love it here.
Oyster Bay Jiu Jitsu has exceeded all of my expectations. This martial arts school emphasizes camaraderie, individual attention, fitness, and self-defense. The community at Oyster Bay Jiu Jitsu is incredibly welcoming and supportive. It feels like being a part of a close-knit family from day one.
New to BJJ? Start at Oyster Bay Jiu Jitsu
Oyster Bay 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 Oyster Bay 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.
