Great place atmosphere to learn about bjj. Great teacher in Jason willman. Everyone in the classes are very helpful and great to train with.

★★★★★ — Josh, Jan 2020

I love it here. For people like me who are new to jiujitsu professor Jay is the kind of instructor you want. He does a great job at teaching us as a team but also the extra time he takes with all of us new guys to make sure we are learning the proper technique and training safely. The training partners are great.

Your first BJJ class at Rudo 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.
