From the reviews

recently had the pleasure of joining Round 5, an outstanding MMA gym that has surpassed all my expectations. This gym has a welcoming and family-oriented atmosphere that makes it an ideal place to train and learn new skills. One of the key reasons for Round 5's success is its head coach, Caesar.

★★★★★ — Andro, Apr 2023

I started training with Coach Cesar about 10 years ago when I was 40 years old. At the time, I was 6 foot one and wait about 262 pounds. I was waking up in the middle the night with chest pain and knew that health problems were right around the corner.

★★★★★ — Timothy, Dec 2020

From the moment I stepped into the gym I felt welcomed. I am the first female fighter to debut out of Round 5 MMA. I enjoy every moment I am there to learn and observe. We have a great family presence in the gym. The most important thing to me is my safety.

★★★★★ — Liz, Apr 2022

I did a free try out on a Saturday at this gym, loved the energy and the warm welcoming by all the members.

New to BJJ? Start at Round 5 MMA and Jiu jitsu

Round 5 MMA and 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 Round 5 MMA and 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
