From the reviews
This is a great place. If your a beginner or a advanced expert you are going to thrive here. I have never felt so welcomed entering a building than I did here. The whole Team are very nice people and masters at their craft.
I was in PA for a business trip and initially struggled to find a place to train until I found Sion BJJ. The gym itself is quite large, has a workout area, clean mats, and a nice rec space. Steve Austin, the owner, is a legit black belt with an inspirational story which really made me excited to train with him.
Don’t even know where to start! Sion BJJ is great and the reviews speak for themselves. Steve really takes his time and makes sure that everyone is understanding of the techniques and working to the best of their ability to get better.
Honestly, it is a big blast to train there and have two of the best guys teaching us how to get better at BJJ and Muay Thai. sadly, muay thai is not available now, but talking about BJJ and the owner of the gym - Steve, I have nothing else but nice things to say.
New to BJJ? Start at Sion Brazilian JiuJitsu
Sion Brazilian JiuJitsu 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 Sion Brazilian JiuJitsu
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.
