From the reviews
I can’t say enough great things about this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program in Ponte Vedra. As a parent, finding an activity that builds both confidence and discipline in my child was incredibly important—and this place delivers on all fronts.
I was fortunate to find Professor John and the Ponte Vedra BJJ team late in my jiu jitsu career. John runs an excellent program for both kids and adults with a similar format to most schools including dynamic warmup, technique, drilling and sparring. Each children’s match is supervised 1:1 with an adult black belt.
Our son started at PVBJJ almost a year ago. The practice came highly recommended from a friend with a similarly energetic 6 year old. The atmosphere is loving and welcoming while also holding high expectations. My favorite part is the amount of movement happening during the hour long class.
I was so impressed with how welcoming and well-structured the classes are—especially for kids! The instructors give clear, consistent guidance and create an environment where kids can stay engaged and focused, which is so important (especially for those with attention challenges).
Your first BJJ class at Ponte Vedra 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.
