From the reviews
I can't say enough good things about this gym. Not only is the instructing top notch but everyone at the gym is there to push you and help you achieve your goals. If you are looking to improve your BJJ game then this is THE place to train in the Idaho Falls area.
This is a great place to train for kids and adults. The owner(Troy) has trained under Ralph Gracie directly. The atmosphere of the gym is very welcoming. I have learned so much in less than a year and I was able to compete and place in a few Jujitsu tournaments.
This has got to be the best Jiu Jitsu gym in town. There is no bull crap. Come as you are. Get involved, have fun. If you find you don’t like it walk away. You are not stuck. There are no hard feelings. I have been regularly attending for over a year. I have found a great place to train and learn.
We searched for a long time to find the right gym for our kids. Ralph Gracie Idaho Falls is the best in town. They keep the gym clean, the coaches are friendly and attentive while still imparting good discipline and skills. This gym definitely lives up to the Ralph Gracie name 👍🏼
New to BJJ? Start at Ralph Gracie Brazilian jiu-jitsu
Ralph Gracie 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 Ralph Gracie 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.
