From the reviews

I really enjoy training at SOKY BJJ. After taking considerable time off from training to have babies, I felt comfortable getting back on the mats because the environment is safe, welcoming, and supportive. Even with some physical limitations, I’ve never felt out of place.

★★★★★ — Patti, May 2026

Come try it out! The instructor Caleb has had 10 years learning techniques in Brazilian Jitsu. He is a family oriented man, his family participates with him. He is fantastic at teaching discipline, respect and confidence in a fun and safe environment. Caleb prioritizes safety and really engages with each person.

Your first BJJ class at SOKY 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
