From the reviews
I’ve been training here for 4 months, and as a 6'2", 312lb beginner, I couldn't ask for a better culture. The room is filled with highly skilled working adults who keep the training playful, safe, and focused on learning. The teaching style is fantastic.
These guys are awesome. Positive energy, great instruction, and willing to work with anyone.
Your first BJJ class at Stronghold 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.
