From the reviews
Great gym that’s very active in the 918 Jiu Jitsu scene. Professor Jimmy Oban is a Black Belt out of the Triton Fight Center and has a vast amount of knowledge in traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
I have now been going for a little over 2 years. Coach Jimmy is an amazing coach who teaches fundamentals. Even though we are not a competition gym, the fundamentals that are taught lead to great result like 11 competitors with 17 medals. The rolling environment is great with multiple women to roll with.
Now is the time!!! It is never too late to start and not too early. My wife and I (both 41) train along with our three daughters (12,14,16). Great environment for all types. Whether your kids have a bus stop bully, want an alternative to wrestling, or you want to get in better shape…come roll with us.
Jimmy, the professor, is the best! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I’ve been going for about a year now and I love it. I’ve lost about 40 pounds and feel so much better.
New to BJJ? Start at Ronin Jiu Jitsu
Ronin 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 Ronin 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.
