From the reviews
Great gym for the youth, I have both my sons training here 5 and 7 years old. Sal the head instructor of the gym, is very patient with the kids. This gym has a strong family vibe. Agin great place for the youth to grow, build self esteem and confidence. Not to mention some of the very best prices in town.
This gym is incredible and for all ages and sizes! This is an amazing sport that requires dedication and discipline. We are thankful for the woman’s Monday night classes and the self confidence it’s given our daughter! We’ve since had her join the gym full time.
Incredible place to learn BJJ! The evening classes are great and the people there are very welcoming! The 6am morning class is a Veterans-LEO and First responders class but all are welcome. The instructors are very knowledgeable and can teach techniques so that anyone can get it!
What an excellent place to spend your free time. This academy is one of the best in town. Always friendly and eager to teach. Good for families, adults and children classes available. No better way to help your children build confidence and self esteem while learning from experienced and tested instructors.
Your first BJJ class at Pallaton 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.
