From the reviews
We have been here for more than 3 years, Jiu Jitsu helps not only self defense but also to build confidence. My son needed an outlet during Covid-19 and Jiu Jitsu helped him a lot. This dojo is more energetic and friendly than other dojo we tried. We like the atmosphere.
I love this gym! I’ve been training at Revolution for about a year now, Sensei Jeff and the crew welcomed me in with open arms. The instruction is world class, be sure to check out Sam and Rodrigo’s classes as well! Everyone is so friendly, I’m honored to call these mats my home!!
Jeff and his coaches are amazing. Being part of Revolution and Silva Jujitsu is like being in a family. Our two boys have been going for a few years now, and it has enriched and enhanced their lives in so many ways.
My child has been attending for more than six months and his growth as a jiu jitsu practitioner and as a person has been remarkable. The school - its culture and the instructors - instill a warm, encouraging, respectful, confident, and responsible character in each student, and between the students, that extends not…
New to BJJ? Start at Revolution Martial Arts & Jiu Jitsu
Revolution Martial Arts & Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Martial Arts & Jiu Jitsu
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.
