From the reviews
So glad my son belongs to Phenom. Great atmosphere. The excitement and motivation from the couches makes learning fun. Phenom is a place were respect is number one. The couches are approachable and always there to help the little ones master and learn a new move. My son is always exited when it's jiu jitsu time.
Phenom is truly a great place to learn jiu-jitsu. I have 3 kids learning from Professor Gabriel and they enjoy going to training everyday. He's great with the kids and his jiu-jitsu first mentality promotes training and learning first.
Phenom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial is so amazing Charlie the owner is so professional and nice he makes you feel so welcome..My kids came in to jiu-jitsu knowing nothing, but big thanks to amazing and talented Professor Rafael who has been so amazing with not just my kids but has taught them so much and they…
My son absolutely loves it here! I’ve seen his progress and he is motivated to keep learning thanks to the awesome instructors! He’s also has made new friends! Sebastian at the front desk is always helpful if I have any questions! Charlie always greets the families and makes it a great environment!!!
New to BJJ? Start at Phenom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts
Phenom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Phenom Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Mixed 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.
