From the reviews
My son has been in this for little over a year , he has learned so much , the coaches are awesome and really help the kids to be the best they can be ! We are forever staying in jujitsu now . Highly recommend putting your child in this !
My daughter has been coming here nearly five days a week for almost a year, and we absolutely love it! She’s learned so much and has really improved her skills—she can roll with confidence now! This place teaches valuable lessons about perseverance and resilience.
I registered my kids here back in mid March 2024. It's their first time training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I've seen so much improvement. They have a great professor Joao. He is patient with all his students & has a passion in what he does. So sign up for you FREE wk trial!!
Professor Joao is very knowledgeable and patient. Both myself and my 8 year old daughter enjoy his classes. Whether you are looking to compete in tournaments or learn self defense, this is a great place to train.
New to BJJ? Start at Randori Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Checkmat Moreno Valley
Randori Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Checkmat Moreno Valley 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 Randori Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Checkmat Moreno Valley
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.
