From the reviews
I’ve known Jack Tolley for over 20 years—not just as a friend, but as a fellow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner—and I can honestly say he’s one of the most talented and dedicated people I know. His passion for the art and commitment to helping others grow is unmatched.
Great instructors, clean environment, awesome people that are all hungry to learn. Jack has given me confidence not only in jiu jitsu but even outside of the gym as well. Highly recommend this place🤙🏼
Expert martial arts knowledge and a great vibe. Highly recommended - from a 2nd degree black belt and certified instructor in Tang Soo Do and mixed martial artist.
I’ve been training with Jack for about a year now. Both my sons and nephew are now training with Jack as well. This is a great place to practice and train with individual attention by the staff. Drop in for a class!
New to BJJ? Start at SilverJack Jiu-jitsu
SilverJack 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 SilverJack 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.
