From the reviews

I did one trial class and now I’m here for life! The professors and coaches are amazing. The friendships I’ve made are irreplaceable. The attention to technique is top notch and rolling with my friends is the best. I can’t recommend this place more. It’s also a safe space for women to join.

Love GB Columbia, it's fun for the whole Family! My whole family trains there. The Professors and Coaches are wonderful! They do a great job working with my kiddos, and keeping me and my husband motivated. I really cannot say enough about the great people at GB Columbia!! ❤️

Gracie Barra is the best place to train. From the amazing facilities to the friendly staff and highly qualified and trained instructors. It's a place for the whole family.

★★★★★ — Allan, Jun 2022

Top notch facility. Immaculately clean. Friendly staff. Great choice for BJJ, especially as you ostensibly have access to other GB Gyms as well. Definitely recommend.

Your first BJJ class at Renzo Gracie Columbia TN

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
