From the reviews
Can't recommend this place enough if you want to learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and MMA. My daughter has been in the kids class for over a year and loves it as Coach Swann does an incredible job with all of the kids. I myself have been doing it for a few months and can't get enough of it.
Amazing gym. I may be a bit biased as I train there but you won't find a better gym or a better coach, Zack Wilds. They offer kids classes and now, dedicated days for MMA training on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Skilled instructors and great atmosphere makes training and learning BJJ fun and functional. Zack and Kevin are amazing black belts and they make you feel at home when you step in the door. Kids classes taught by Eric are entertaining as well as educational and keep the kids attention.
Fantastic gym - Zack does a great job with individual coaching. My success in competition is directly because of this gym.
Your first BJJ class at Tartarus MMA and BJJ
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. 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.
