From the reviews
I’ve been training at Precision for a few years now. They have a great community and classes that fit anyone’s schedule. Great confidence booster and physical exercise. Coach Brian, Coach Jon, Coach Karl, Coach Marcus and Steve-o are great and very knowledgeable and helpful.
I came to Precision a couple of years ago looking for creative and positive pathways for my energies. Going in, I was a bit intimidated in not knowing what to expect or how to comport myself in such a setting but Coach Brian and Ollie quickly dispelled those fears and got me in and going from the jump.
* Coach A Truly Exceptional Gym and I've been training with Coach Brian for years, and I can say without hesitation that he runs one of the best gyms I've ever stepped into. Brian is a high-level black belt with deep knowledge across multiple disciplines — ju jitsu, wrestling, striking, and overall fight IQ.
Our son Logan has been training at Precision for about four years now. He started in the kid's classes at ten and quickly fell in love with BJJ. The coaches train the young students in more than just martial arts. They instill self-confidence, respect, sportsmanship, and grit.
New to BJJ? Start at Precision Boxing & Mixed Martial Arts
Precision Boxing & Mixed Martial Arts 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 Precision Boxing & Mixed Martial Arts
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.
