From the reviews
The Best Jiu jitsu training experience I’ve had. I’ve been training here since they opened great environment and community. The professor Lael is amazing he is very hands on with his students. And it’s very clear he wants you to be the best you can possibly be at jiu jitsu.
I've been training at this gym for a while now and it's been an incredible experience. I've never been in better shape and my skills have improved so much thanks to the amazing instructor and training partners. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get into Jiu Jitsu or improve their skills.
My family (me, wife and 8 year old daughter) has been going to Superior Jiu Jitsu for over a year and I can not emphasize enough how INCREDIBLE this class is. Not only is Lael incredibly skilled, but his classroom environment is OUTSTANDING.
If you want to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu, get a good workout, and become part of an amazing community of people, Superior Jiu jitsu is the place to be. Lael is an outstanding instructor, and he will help you improve on the mats and in life.
New to BJJ? Start at Superior Jiu Jitsu
Superior 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 Superior 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.
