From the reviews
We come to Ocnj New Jersey every year for a family vacation. This year we decided to try something new! With no back ground in jiu jitsu, we took the 6 am class. Every one was so kind and welcoming and patient! The studio was clean and is a great facility! Highly recommend!
I dropped into this gym when I was on vacation for a week, and I really enjoyed it. Classes were efficient and well-structured, the facilities were clean, and the environment was safe and friendly. I learned a lot and got some great rolls in too. I’m thrilled I now have a place to train while I’m down the shore!
SJBJJOC has been Ocean City’s best-kept secret for the past year..until now. Same elite training, same killer crew, and a proven curriculum — now repping a brand-new spot just minutes from the beach. 🌊 Weather you’re a fighter, a family, a child, etc.. they have something for everyone.
I dropped in here while on vacation and loved the experience. Great space and super clean. The class had plenty of challenging rolls even though it is a newer school. The class was taught by an experienced Purple Belt who showed quality techniques.
New to BJJ? Start at South Jersey Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Ocean City
South Jersey Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Ocean City 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 South Jersey Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Ocean City
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.
