From the reviews
This is the place for your kids!! We went thru 3 different Cobra Kai douchbag run Jiu Jitsu places before we finally found Rio Pro! Eric the manager is the best! He was teaching the kids classes when we were there. He is warm, friendly, and understanding.
Rio Pro is amazing! There’s a great atmosphere and everyone is friendly and encouraging no matter where you start at! It seemed daunting to start BJJ knowing almost nothing and not having any sort of martial arts background but the instructors and students are so awesome it felt natural to be there.
I dropped in to the Beechwood location for a no gi class. The black belt instructor, Ante, was very polite and welcoming. His instruction was easy to understand and the techniques he taught were great. All the members were friendly and fun to roll with. Great vibe. I'll definitely go back.
High quality instruction and facilities. Tight and disciplined group. Really enjoyed my visit here while my gym was closed. I feel like they're almost too successful though. Class size was pretty big compared to the mat area. Had to constantly be aware of others rolling nearby.
Your first BJJ class at Rio Pro Brazilian 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.
