From the reviews
My family has been training Jiu Jitsu at Renzo Gracie New Hampshire for almost seven years. Professor Kevin Landry and his staff are incredible instructors who have become like family. From the moment you walk in the door you are warmly welcomed making for a comfortable environment especially for newcomers.
I’ve been training for 6 years and this is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve been to. The people and the staff are so friendly and it’s really a family environment. Ever since I started Jiu jitsu I’ve noticed my confidence and self esteem go up and I’m less nervous to go to new places.
I have been going for 3 years now. It's a wonderful community. They invite everyone in at all levels. The Professor helps answer all questions and teaches you an a manner thats easy to understand. All the other instructors like Ty, Tim and Dave are super helpful and will met you at your skill and experience level.
My son has recently completed his second kids class at the Manchester NH location led by David Lombard and we could not be more thankful that our little guy is a student at Renzo Gracie!! David is a 10/10 instructor/leader and we are looking forward to the future!!! 😃
New to BJJ? Start at Renzo Gracie NH
Renzo Gracie NH 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 Renzo Gracie NH
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.
