From the reviews

Amazing experience! Professor Eli was patient and encouraging. My child has already learned so much. Highly recommend. My son is excited to continue training here!

If you’re a parent, you’ll understand this… My daughter was going through a tough time. Her confidence was low after dealing with things at school, and as a parent, that’s one of the hardest things to watch. You want to help, but sometimes you don’t know what will actually make a difference.

★★★★★ — J.E, Apr 2026

The moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Great instruction, solid technique, and an atmosphere that pushes you to grow while taking care of each other. You can tell this is more than a gym—it’s a team.

★★★★★ — Nick, May 2026

Great class, my girls enjoy the exercise and are learning a lot, fast… Thank you Professor and Coach. I love that they teach more then defense, like stranger danger protection

Your first BJJ class at Peck Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai

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.
