From the reviews
REAKT BJJ is a top notch martial arts gym. My three kids & I have been members since the gym opened in June of 2018, & it’s been an overwhelmingly positive experience for all of us.
I never thought learning a martial art would be so fun and fulfilling. No matter your background or level of skill the coaches here provide a great curriculum that allows you to grow and the other students are just as helpful. It's more like a second family than anything else.
This place has made a huge impact on my life. Between the friends I have made with the other students and coaches and the life lessons learned. I look forward to class every day. I would recommend REAKT to anyone looking to make new friends and get in shape. Recommend for all ages!
I am a middle age mom and was nervous to start taking Jiu-jitsu because I don't have any martial arts background, but wanted to learn some self defense skills. I attend the morning classes and all of the guys have been supportive and welcoming!
New to BJJ? Start at REAKT Fighting Arts & Fitness - Team Renzo Gracie
REAKT Fighting Arts & Fitness - Team Renzo Gracie 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 REAKT Fighting Arts & Fitness - Team Renzo Gracie
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.
