From the reviews
I trained briefly at 3 other Jiu-Jitsu academies before I found Renzo Gracie Academy in Naples Florida. This academy is hands down the BEST place to train BJJ on every level! I am now addicted to Jiu-Jitsu-4Life thanks to the incredible family of athletes & world-class instructors at RGA!
Positive and motivating environment! It is said that the white belt is the hardest to get in martial arts, because it takes courage to even walk through the door the first time. I'm truly happy that I joined this gym. The coaches live the art and inspire the students to become better versions of themselves.
Best gym in town! I’ve never done jiu jitsu before but since my first day coach Marc has always gone out of the way to make class more enjoyable and helps me get the most out of every class. Training there has really been life changing. Mats are huge too!
Super welcoming gym! The coaches are amazing and it’s a great opportunity to learn in the lineage of Jiu Jitsu royalty. I feel very safe training here as a woman too.
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy Naples
Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy Naples 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 Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy Naples
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.
