From the reviews
Went to a class today, when I arrived I was welcomed and signed a waiver and invited to join. Very friendly and zen environment with light popular music playing. We did introductions between the small group and then warm ups and then learned some moves and escapes and a choke.
My family is into this sport, so were eager to try this new Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Studio located on the corner of Jefferson and Thimble Shoals in Newport News. Owned by local professionals, Julia and Vance, they have endeavored to take their hobby to the next level with this studio.
I have been training BJJ for over 20 years and had the good fortune of learning from Bunny during his time in Georgia. There are very few instructors with his level of knowledge, skill, and passion for the art. If you are within an hour and a half of his gym, you should join immediately!
I LOVE MY COACHES AND I LOVE LEARNING HERE ITS GREAT It’s amazing and a great place to start jujitsu for the first time!!!! XD
New to BJJ? Start at Siren Jiu Jitsu
Siren 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 Siren 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.
