From the reviews
Fantastic atmosphere and facility. I train here with my four year old boy and we can’t get enough of it. All the professors are cordial and incredibly willing to answer even the dumbest of questions. Everybody that we train with has been really helpful and It really feels like family when you’re there.
Where to start! First off, thank you to Professor Kevin and his wife, Karis, for welcoming us to the family. My son has only been coming for a couple months now but I'm already starting to see an improvement in his overall attitude, and he really loves going to the academy to train.
When I started, I was 320 lbs. I drove by wanting to try this for sometime. Insecure and nervous, this academy welcomed me with open arms. Incredibly friendly, humble, and overall nice people. There is no one here that thinks they are better than anyone else.
This place is awesome! I've been training here at RGNH for almost 3 years now and I love it. The instructors are so knowledgeable and are great teachers and coaches. The classes are structured for all skill levels, abilities and ages. When I first joined I did not know anything about Jiu Jitsu.
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.
