From the reviews

I had been thinking about martial arts for my son for a while. He is a very sweet boy but he for sure needs some discipline and I thought this would be a great fun way to achieve that. An offer for a free class came up on an ad so I jumped on it. My son loved it and I signed him up officially.

★★★★★ — Richard, Jul 2025

Both of my kids have been coming to this school since May of 2022, Sensei John is great with the kids and I'm very happy with their progress. FYI, my wife and I were asked what our goals were for our kids, we said our son needs more discipline and our daughter more confidence.

★★★★★ — Pranit, Apr 2023

Our son is 3 and loves going to his class. It’s been a great way to get out his energy and helps him practice discipline, focus, and respect. Teachers are great with the kids

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Jul 2024

We stumbled upon PMA when we had some time to kill before a swim lesson. From that first moment where Coach Joel welcomed my son and me into their awesome, clean studio, we knew signing up for a month of unlimited classes was for us! This has been the best choice for us as my son has grown in so many ways.

Your first BJJ class at Premier Martial Arts Denville

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
