From the reviews
I stopped in for a drop-in class while visiting from out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The professor and everyone on the mats were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The instruction was top-notch, technical, and easy to follow the training.
SethBJJ is an incredible place to train, and the Professor Michael Sergi is awesome! From the moment I walked in, he was extremely welcoming, making me feel at home right away.
Wonderful experience training under coach Serg today. It was an honor to see his style and how organized his training program is. I’m originally from Memphis TN and Coach Serg welcomed me with open arms. I had some very tough rolls with his students and had the absolute pleasure of rolling with the man himself.
I dropped in for open mat while I was visiting the area. I had a fantastic experience training here. The energy here was incredibly welcoming and friendly. As a smaller grappler, I appreciated Professor Sergi asking about my comfort level training with partners of different sizes.
New to BJJ? Start at SERG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Fitness
SERG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Fitness 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 SERG Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Fitness
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.
