From the reviews
Great place to learn Brazilian jujitsu ! Also a great place to take your kids .. Also if your old like me ... I highly recommend this dojo!! And train with a legend of bjj.. .You want to learn Brazilian jujitsu .. You see this is directly from the source... So he knows so much detail so much moves ..
This is by far the best BJJ gym in Vegas. You will not get the attention to detail and amazing technique anywhere else at all. This is a family environment, and extremely welcoming as well. They hold true to their values, which is something very rare these days.
I came to Vegas on vacation from MI & wanted to train at a new gym, as I'm sure many of us jiu jitsu guys & gals do. Sergio Penha's gym welcomed me with open arms. They taught me a new loop choke & a great escape from bottom side. If you're coming to Vegas, get in a class here!
Was traveling in the area and was allowed to drop in for a class. Was not initially able to get in touch by phone but showed up and was welcomed with open arms. Had a great lesson from Richard and look forward to visiting again when back in Vegas.
New to BJJ? Start at Sergio Penha Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Sergio Penha 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 Sergio Penha 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.
