Can't tell you enough how appreciate all the couches at Parkerburg Jiu-Jitsu. Couch Mike, Jason& Abby are the best! If you are thinking of putting your kids to learn martial arts. This is the place to go, hands down.
This school has been the best for me and my kids. Very welcoming and patient. They truly understand that people have lives and careers that interfere with training at times. John and Valerie are genuinely interested in their students but also in making the community better.
Awesome time! Instructors are great, very knowledgeable, patient and exciting. Family atmosphere. Our kids are look forward to the next class.
Your first BJJ class at Parkersburg Jiu-Jitsu Academy
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. 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.
