From the reviews

I always wanted to get into BJJ, but didn't feel I found the right place until I started coming here. Both Nick and Jon are super chill, great at teaching and overall they want the best for you. I am truly greatful for both of them. I've been going to this gym for a few weeks now.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Jun 2022

Great place to train BJJ. The culture is awesome. Jonathan and Nick were super welcoming to me when I walked in knowing no one and I got comfortable pretty quick. Everyone there that trains is also super nice and the atmosphere is great.

★★★★★ — B, May 2023

Both of our oldest sons train in and love Jiu Jitsu. We have done drop in classes and have even been in several competitions. The owner runs a great program and is one of the best. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Gary, Dec 2023

New to BJJ? Start at Sub Zero Jiu-Jitsu

Sub Zero 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 Sub Zero 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.
