From the reviews

Plainfield Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great school. Their schedule is very flexible for people with hectic work schedules, which helps me a lot. Plainfield Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a family friendly school. They allow me to bring my toddler with me when I can't find a babysitter.

★★★★★ — Derrick, Oct 2018

Started coming here daily just about 3 weeks ago. It’s my first time doing a martial art and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try. The instructor here is super nice and takes the time to instruct people individually based on their skill level.

★★★★★ — Zachery, Dec 2019

I've trained in martial arts for a very long time and have had a hard time finding a Jiu Jitsu academy that fit. The very first time I walked in here, I knew it was the right fit. The lead instructor is very attentive and strives to make sure everyone is learning and having a good time.

★★★★★ — Scott, Oct 2019

Great place! Friendly and very welcoming of newcomers. My son is 8 and goes to the kids class, he loves it! The instructors do a great job of mixing the basics of Jiu Jitsu with fun drills and games. My son is excited to go to every class. I have been attending the adult classes myself and am also very happy.

New to BJJ? Start at Plainfield Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Plainfield Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Plainfield Brazilian 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.
