From the reviews
Juan is a great instructor, His wife is too! They are always 100% teaching kids. Juan is extremely knowledgeable and patient with children and the kids enjoy and respect him. Excellent teachers, I am glad that my kids are in this class to learn discipline, respect and humility! Highly recommend!
My six and five year olds are enrolled in class 3x/week and these lessons are a perfect fit. Coach Juan is a gift! He is patient with the kids. He sets and maintains expectations with them. He’s willing to take time if a student needs a little more than the rest, while managing keep the others occupied.
This place is awesome. My 10 & 11yr olds love to be here, coach Juan is fantastic and his wife Jessica is awesome, Coach Juan has the knowledge, experience and patience. The prices are very affordable. The place is very clean and organized. There is not a single thing that I don’t like.
This place was great. I dropped into a class as a visitor from Nashville, also as someone very new to the sport. The team here was super welcoming and immediately made me feel like a member of the community even after meeting me only moments prior.
New to BJJ? Start at Redmond Grappling Academy BJJ | No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in Redmond, Oregon
Redmond Grappling Academy BJJ | No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in Redmond, Oregon 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 Redmond Grappling Academy BJJ | No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in Redmond, Oregon
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.
