From the reviews
I've been training jiu-jitsu on and off for 3 years. Been to a couple of different gyms and have never felt more at home than here at Santos. The instructors are amazing and have no problems giving pointers without being demeaning. Overall amazing 🔥🦾💯
I was gonna wait for a month to go by to write this Review but I think it needed now. Great gym, for both Kids and Adults. All the coaches here are authentic in being supportive to the kids here. Our kids enjoy being here and we're seeing improvements in their character and Moral.
I was fortunate to train with Logan for close to a decade. I watched him grow from skilled competitor to dedicated instructor. He truly possesses every quality one could possibly seek in a great teacher.
Santos BJJ is amazing! It’s a place where you get the highest level of instruction along with an atmosphere that is extremely welcoming. In both the kids and adult classes everybody seems to having a great time. It’s really something you will have to experience for yourself.
New to BJJ? Start at Santos Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Santos 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 Santos 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.
