From the reviews
Power of Leverage is a top notch gym to learn Jiu-Jitsu. I have quite a few friends in Jiu-Jitsu since 2011 and have watched them teach and have visited other schools and have even shopped around different Jiu-Jitsu schools. I have friends that are black belts that have their own schools.
My husband and I signed our girls up for the class and it has been one of the best thing we could have done for them. They are learning so much about discipline, building confidence, and making new friends. The POL family are the best! The parents and family are very supportive and encouraging. Prof Kelly and Mrs.
It’s a large group, but there are benefits to an eclectic collection of kids. Regardless of your child’s skill level, s/he will be paired up with another similar to his/er stature and capabilities to foster faster learning, to stay adequately challenged, and most importantly, for us, to stay safe.
Truly THE BEST Jiu Jitsu school around! My two kids have been coming here for over 3 years now and still going strong! It has been such an incredible journey to witness the growth, discipline, friendships, joy, love, unity, and strength my kids have gained here at Power Of Leverage.
New to BJJ? Start at Power of Leverage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Power of Leverage 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 Power of Leverage 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.
