From the reviews
I’ve been training with Ruan whenever I’m in the Boston area for the past ~2 years, and it’s always the highlight of my trips. He’s an energetic instructor who is not only passionate about BJJ but also incredibly knowledgeable.
The best of the best! Professor Ruan’s skill, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. He provides a consistently wonderful experience every class with his enthusiasm and energy and it’s an absolute pleasure to learn from him. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Ruan is a very experienced and enthusiastic coach!! Definitely one of the best out there. I highly recommend!!
Ruan is absolutely amazing. He is truly an expert in jiu jitsu, but what makes him amazing is his ability to teach. He is patient and knows exactly how to explain things so that as a beginner you can learn very well.
New to BJJ? Start at Ruan Oliveira Jiu-Jitsu
Ruan Oliveira 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 Ruan Oliveira 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.
