From the reviews
Started training here briefly over the summer and now coming back full time to train during the school year. I’m happy to say that I’ve enjoyed every second of my time here and can see myself staying at Positive Balance for a long period of time.
Brought my girlfriends children in for a trial class tonight and was impressed. I train Jiu Jitsu myself and have to say they have one of the best children's programs I have seen. They had two purple belts a white belt AND two black belts instructing. Plenty of attention available for all the children.
We have been traveling from Bainbridge for 3 years now to train with this great group of people. The Coaches are amazing. We love our Positive Balance team!!!!
My 5 yo grandson and I have been training for over 18 months at Positive Balance Jiu Jitsu, and we've not only learned a great deal about Jiu Jitsu, but consider ourselves as part of the family atmosphere created by Dylan, Jim and Maria.
Your first BJJ class at Positive Balance Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling
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.
