From the reviews
My son has been with Park City Jiujitsu since he was 11. Two days ago, under the leadership of Mike, he was promoted to his purple belt; the guidance of Mike, Nick, Anthony, Chris, Keith, and the whole academy helped my son be a better man in life.
I started looking for a self defense program for my daughter after she was bullied in her dance class and she was afraid to go back. What I found was far beyond a self defense program.
I started training with Mike Diaz and his team of instructors two years ago. A month into my training I brought my son to the kid's classes. We now both share a love of Jujistsu and have become friends with many of the people we get to train with.
We absolutely love Mike & all of the Park City Jiu Jitsu coaches! My son has been going to this gym for the past couple of years and I truly believe it is one of the best decisions we have ever made as a parent.
New to BJJ? Start at Park City Jiu Jitsu
Park City 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 Park City 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.
