From the reviews
This is an awesome gym very beginner friendly as well as very child friendly I started training there in the moment they opened and I’m very happy with the results I have a three-year-old daughter and as soon as she’s a little bit bigger I’m gonna put her in his classes to very knowledgeable teacher and very patient…
Ah what can I say? This is an absolute perfect place to train! Whether you're a complete beginner or seasoned grappler the classes will be perfect for you. Coach Kris and his family/staff do a wonderful job of keeping the gym clean organized and full of extra amenities.
Riverstone is an awesome family oriented Jiu Jitsu gym. My 6 year old loves her coaches (especially Coach Zoe) and has learned so much in a short amount of time. Children’s classes are engaging and fun. The staff and members of this gym are what makes this a unique place to be.
My family absolutely LOVES riverstone jiu jitsu!! My husband started going there and slowly convinced me to join and I am forever grateful. We started our son in their toddler class and it is his favorite day of the week! He looks forward to it all the time as do we.
New to BJJ? Start at Riverstone Jiu Jitsu - BJJ Coach Canton
Riverstone Jiu Jitsu - BJJ Coach Canton 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 Riverstone Jiu Jitsu - BJJ Coach Canton
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.
