From the reviews
The community at Resilient is magnificent! I’ve learned more than just self-defense through Jiu Jitsu. This has built my confidence and provided solid ground for my mental health.
We love this place! My twins love coming to their classes to learn and have fun. Coach Gabriel and Carly are both very professional, kind, and always welcome any questions or concerns. Parents are welcome to stay and watch the whole time.
Gabriel is an amazing instructor and person. Gabriel trained with us while he was in the process of standing up his business, and during that time he quickly gained the respect of our entire Gym family. He truly is an amazing coach and person, and I highly encourage you to check his place out.
Gabriel Montuani is a natural leader. He shows everyone the same amount of respect the moment he steps onto the mats. He greets everyone and learns all their names. Gabriel blends in well until he starts teaching a class, he immediately takes over the room with his contagious personality and experience on the mats!
New to BJJ? Start at Resilient Jiu Jitsu - Marianna
Resilient Jiu Jitsu - Marianna 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 Resilient Jiu Jitsu - Marianna
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.
