From the reviews
We absolutely love Samurai Jiu Jitsu! My 8-year-old son looks forward to every class and has grown so much since starting here. The coaches are amazing—patient, encouraging, and truly invested in each child’s progress.
Coach Andreh at Samurai Jiu Jitsu in Prosper is awesome! My 7-year-olds and I have been training with him for two years, and it’s been amazing for our discipline, confidence, strength, and Jiu Jitsu skills. The gym feels like family, and our kids have loved competing in tournaments. I highly recommend signing up.
Samurai Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is hands-down one of the best academies I’ve ever been a part of. The coaching here is top-notch, and what stands out most is how well they work with both kids and adults. The instructors create an environment that is welcoming, respectful, and motivating for every age and skill level.
My son Elliot (7) has been doing Jiu Jitsu in the area for the last 3 years. It’s hard to find a community and environment like the one Andreh and our other professors have cultivated here. The other families and children make it easy to transition into and feel comfortable training here.
New to BJJ? Start at Samurai Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Samurai Brazilian 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 Samurai Brazilian 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.
