From the reviews

This place is pretty much your last stop in your evolution. Coach Brian has so much to offer in technicalities and how to understand why something is done in the manner it's done, lots of really good advice on his holistic approach on how to be a better athlete.

★★★★★ — Lone, Jun 2022

I had the opportunity to do a week of drop-ins with Coach Peterson and his group a few months ago after having followed him on you tube for awhile. Awesome experience; I was so glad I did it. Very welcoming and great, great instructor. Had a chance to get his perspective on techniques.

★★★★★ — Michael, Jul 2023

What an experience! If you live in the area and are interested in grappling or MMA, this should be where you go to feed that desire. If, like me, you pass through, bring a rash guard, cup, mouthpiece, and pay a small drop fee for some very effective moves with great attention to detail.

★★★★★ — Ron, Mar 2026

Great gym, with great atmosphere, energy, coaches are there to really help you out. I was going to another gym before this that cost more money and didn't have the assistance from the coaches here and the great amenities and I am very glad I found this gym. Do not hesitate to sign up because it is well worth it!

Your first BJJ class at Peterson Grapplers

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.
