From the reviews
As a beginner in the art of Jiu Jitsu, and a women wanting to learn self-defense I'm so glad that I came to this school to learn! It's been a long while since I've worked out and I started very much out of shape. The instructors are wonderful, very encouraging, very knowledgeable, and very experienced.
I have been training since 2004. I moved to the area a little over a month and a half ago and I absolutely love training here. The instruction and class structure are all great, and the training is awesome. The academy is great for everyone, including kids, beginners and advanced students.
I've trained at several academies over the years but Renzo Gracie Lake Worth really stands apart. The coaches create a fun and friendly atmosphere for everyone. All are welcome including young kids, soccer moms and even the middle aged person looking for a new challenge.
Awesome place. Awesome owners and professors. Great atmosphere with a great bunch of people. I was new to Jiu Jitsu and they welcome and guide you with tons of patience. After a long day of work or with the kids, and you feel like choking someone, this is the place to go.
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy of Lake Worth
Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy of Lake Worth 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 of Lake Worth
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.
