From the reviews
I had the privilege of collaborating with Felipe from RedZone Jiu-Jitsu a few months back to film an event for his business. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with!
If you’re looking for high-level instruction in Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to be. Felipe is not only a great coach who teaches a wide range of fundamental and advanced techniques, but he also fosters a culture of freedom where you’re encouraged to explore and develop your own game.
I had the pleasure of meeting Felipe when the shared space where he operated Red Zone Jiu Jitsu was closing. After building a loyal following, he needed a new space that would be the right fit for his studio—and we found it in no time.

New to BJJ? Start at RedZone Jiu Jitsu
RedZone 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 RedZone 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.
