From the reviews
Six blades has a great program for kids all ages and adults. I have my girls ages 8 thru 15 and they love coach mike and it’s team . All staff and coaches are very friendly and make my kids feel like they are part of a big family.
Artemis Academy is a great family oriented and friendly place to attend. Coach Mike which is the main instructor is very attentive and dedicated coach that helps each student needs to learn and achieve each ones goal in class.
After 18 years of training, jiu-jitsu I couldn’t be more proud to be able to train with Six blades in Southgate. Mike runs his dojo with care and respect and it is always looking good and clean.
I started training at Artemis Academy about a month and a half ago. From my first day here, I have been welcomed with open arms by every single student and trainer, regardless of belt ranks.
New to BJJ? Start at Six Blades JiuJitsu South Gate
Six Blades JiuJitsu South Gate comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Six Blades JiuJitsu South Gate
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.
