From the reviews
I was visiting from out of state and dropped in for some jiujitsu. Had a great time at their open mat. Everyone was welcoming And super friendly! Highly recommend anyone in the area to check them out!

This is easily the best fight and training gym I’ve ever been to, not only is it SPOTLESS but the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. When I came in I had no jiu jitsu experience but because they’ve done such a great job of creating a truly peer to peer community I felt supported and encouraged by…
My son has been in the toddler MMA class at Point of Impact MMA, and I can honestly say it’s worth every penny. With three classes a week, the value is incredible and the confidence boost I’ve seen in him has been huge. The coaches are amazing.
New to BJJ? Start at Point of Impact MMA
Point of Impact MMA 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 Point of Impact MMA
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.
