From the reviews
Ambiente muito acolhedor, professores pacientes, muito competentes e explicativos. Levei meu filho que é autista e ele foi muito bem recebido, oq foi fundamental pra ele sentir a vontade
Best experience I've had with jiu jitsu, excellent teacher with a great lesson plan, I highly recommend
My son recently started to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He's been in and out of it or around it most of his life but now is training He's starting to pick everything up very quickly and his confidence has grown tremendously he's very brave and other situations and remembers his breathing to control his heart rate .
Lucas is hands down the best! He is a high level black belt, young, and has endless energy for his students. I’ve been training BJJ for about 1.5 years and taking private lessons from Lucas for the past few months. He has helped me hone my game to compete, and coached me to gold in my first ever tournament a month ago.
New to BJJ? Start at Snap Lab Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Snap Lab Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Snap Lab 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.
