From the reviews
RGW is an awesome gym with an amazing atmosphere, professor Martin is a wealth of knowledge who will take the time to watch you do your technique and help u master it down to the last detail. If you ask him a question about BJJ he will answer it very well thought and detailed.
Incredible environment, although I have only been coming on and off for 2 months, I have noticed a change in my cardio and how I move, I think it has taught me to be more aware of where my body is at all times, Martin a nice and very good instructor and the people there are great as well, looking forward to coming…

Great place, super instructors, they do know What day are doing and the are very dedicated to their teaching, thank you.
Your first BJJ class at Renzo Gracie Whitestone
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.
