From the reviews
This is an incredible gym! Pete Shoemaker is a fantastic coach and is very welcoming to all. The classes offered are for all ages and skill levels which is a rare find. The women's program is one of the best around.
If you are interested in Jiu Jitsu this is the place to go. The coaches are by far the best in the area and this gym has a great culture. If you are hesitant to get into this sport, don’t be as this is one of the most welcoming gym’s around.
A great family friendly atmosphere! Kids classes are run beautifully with fun, learning, and respect. There is a great group of women that train here too! Awsome coaches and fantastic teammates you can't get better then that!
Both my boys have taken the kids “Bandit” class several times and I can’t recommend it enough. The instructors are able to keep a large group of kids focused and learning jiu jitsu for the entire class. My kids love it and I’ve seen a lot of growth in both of them over the course of the class.
New to BJJ? Start at Precision Jiu-Jitsu The Barracks
Precision Jiu-Jitsu The Barracks 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 Jiu-Jitsu The Barracks
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.
