From the reviews

Best jiu jitsu studio in the state. The sense of community and family here is unparalleled. If you want your kid to belong and prosper in a place look no further.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Apr 2025

My first class at Pinnacle was very fun and informative. It’s intimidating to walk into a new jiu jitsu place as a female, but the class was safe and the instructors were great about making sure we were comfortable. My kids even came to a kid class and loved the instructors. They sure did a good job of making it fun.

★★★★★ — Christy, Jun 2023

The level of care these instructors place on each and every student is unmatched. Coach Chad, Coach Kyle, and so many others teach discipline, dedication, and defense. Best decision we ever made signing our kids up for Pinnacle Jiu Jitsu.

★★★★★ — Christopher, Jan 2024

Your first BJJ class at Pinnacle Jiu Jitsu

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.
