★★★★★ — Fernando, Aug 2013

I have known Terry to be an upright and committed instructor for some years now. As a colleague, I can say his teaching method, understanding of the martial arts and his commitment to the progress of his students is inspiring.

★★★★★ — Adam, Jul 2011

My daughter has been training here for a little over a year (she started at four years old) and she loves it! Terry Ham is an excellent instructor! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a place for their children or themselves to train!

★★★★★ — Joy, Aug 2013

The setting is relaxed and the focus is driven by fundamentals. What I enjoy most about the dojo is you the student can learn what you are looking to learn and even beyond one's own expectations.

Your first BJJ class at Pasadena Martial Arts

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
