From the reviews
LOVE this place!! We transitioned from UFC Gym about 6 months ago and we were welcomed with open arms as if we were family from Day 1. Both a fantastic Adults and Kids program, our experience is mostly with the kid program. Such a great group of kids, parents and very, very high level instruction.
My son (age 8) and I joined Steez Jiu Jitsu Club in November 2022. We felt welcomed from the start and were immediately blown away by the culture and environment Coach Jimmie created for both the kids and adult programs. My son has had the opportunity to train in the Fundamentals, Advanced and Competition classes.
In dentistry we talk a lot about having a dental home. Steez is the equivalent Jiu Jitsu home. Coach Jimmie makes a tremendous job at creating a home environment that is welcoming to family and the community. The Jiu Jitsu taught here is intricate, detailed oriented and well thought out like a college curriculum.
Can’t say enough good things about Steez. My 7 year old son has been in the kids program for 7 months. Coach Jimmie is great with the kids, he’s a great role model and leader and he makes it a fun and uplifting environment while also providing top notch instruction.
New to BJJ? Start at Steez Jiujitsu Club
Steez Jiujitsu Club 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 Steez Jiujitsu Club
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.
