From the reviews
I’ve been training at Revolution Ashland for almost two years, and it has been such a rewarding experience. It’s something I never imagined myself doing, but after watching my husband, daughter, and son start training, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did.
I took the BJJ intro with this gym about three years ago now and while I didn't stick with the sport it was a positive experience all around. I wasn't ever forced to do anything I didn't want to or wasn't comfortable doing (I chose to sit out specific intro drills, for example).
Having been training here for over two years now, I still have nothing but positive things to say. Upon walking into my first class I was greeted with the wonderful group of women who train here.
I started training Muay Thai at this location about a year ago and honestly can’t say enough good things about it. I joined the gym while still in the intro course because after just a few classes, I knew both the art and the gym were a perfect fit for me.
New to BJJ? Start at Revolution BJJ Ashland LLC
Revolution BJJ Ashland LLC 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 Revolution BJJ Ashland LLC
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.
