From the reviews

I've been a member of Black Tie Jiu-Jitsu Clare since it's Inception. I'm a 60 year old female black belt in jiu-jitsu. I came to Brett Sbardella at least a decade ago with no Jiu-Jitsu experience whatsoever. There aren't words to express all that this team has given me.
This might not be the biggest school in Michigan but it’s definitely the best and I can say that with 100% confidence. The attention to detail Coach Brett applies to the Jiu Jitsu game has earned Black Tie Clare and Black Tie Kalamazoo countless gold medals and title belts from BJJ tournaments here in Michigan and…
This Jiu-jitsu gym is an amazing place and highly organized. The more experienced grapplers as well as the instructor are extremely helpful at all times! Every time I come into the gym I always come out with a smile, and wanting to come back again! Safe and friendly gym!
New to BJJ? Start at Quantum Flow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Quantum Flow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Quantum Flow 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.
