From the reviews
Villardo Jiu Jitsu PBG is awesome! Both my husband and son go here! Our son has been there going on three years and has grown so much. He is so much more confident. The coaches are wonderful, patient with just the right amount of push to keep the kids and adults going!
Fantastic school! My daughter is learning & gaining confidence, but more important she is having fun. Professor Mauricio and Ron are the real deal! This community is lucky to have such a great academy!
I walked in here one day with no experience or expectation. It was before any classes had started so no one was there except for Ron, who was cleaning the mats. He greeted me with a handshake and a smile and took the time to not only explain how beneficial Jiu-Jitsu is to my future career, but how it translates into…
This is a fantastic BJJ academy and I cannot say enough good things about the level of instruction, positive attitude of the instructors and students and environment as a whole. Myself and five of my kids have been training here for a year and absolutely love it.
New to BJJ? Start at Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Palm Beach Gardens
Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Palm Beach Gardens 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 Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Palm Beach Gardens
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.
