From the reviews
These guys are the real deal. They don’t mess around with easy paid promotions. You earn everything through hard work and consistency. Shel, Troy and Seung are great coaches, mentors, and friends. Once you commit to the team, and you put in real effort, they got your back no matter what.
Can't ask for better instructors and fellow students. Be prepared to work, but it's great vibes and no-fluff training. For those interested in the kids' classes, I can't recommend this place enough. Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00-5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 12:30-2:00 p.m. are the kids' classes times.
Amazing details and instructions that I never thought I'd get. Also developing problem solving skills and being a critical thinker learning how to deal with situations in Jiu Jitsu. Not to mention the great cardio workout, definitely seen my cardio improve over time here. All in All beneficial in so many ways
Coach Shel, Troy, and Seung are all very knowledgeable and want to help every student develop their skills. Recommend to anyone who wants to learn gi or no-gi jiu jitsu.
Your first BJJ class at Tako 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.
