From the reviews

Been training at Serra's for a little over 11 years and it is awesome. Great instructors, great atmosphere and awesome training. It's a really great place to learn and train.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Apr 2025

Easy to see right off of Jericho Turnpike servicing Huntington and the adjoining areas of Suffolk County. Plenty of parking. Clean facilities. The Premiere Jiu Jitsu Academy in the North East under the Leadership of World Champion Matt Serra. Credit cards accepted. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ — Eric, Jul 2019

I have been training at Serra's for a little over a year now. I came in as a blue belt and felt at home the moment I walked into the door. This place is amazing. Matt's teaching style is detailed and easy to understand. I would recommend Serra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to anyone who wants to learn this beautiful martial art.

★★★★★ — Stephen, Aug 2023

Never been but Matt Serra is one of the goats of UFC and he's an amazing person I think he's an amazing coach watching him in TUF 6 proves he's an amazing coach. Most importantly he's a big star wars fan. May the force be with you matt if you read this. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

New to BJJ? Start at Serra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Serra 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 Serra 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.

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.
