From the reviews
Zach and the team were very welcoming and great to train with. Everyone was courteous and very helpful with pointers. The gym was very clean and a great setup with clean restrooms and showers.
I've rolled with Zack (and gotten smashed) at other open mats enough times to know I had to check out his gym. The location is convenient with plenty of parking. The facility itself is clean, with nice bathrooms and multiple showers.
Dropped in to a 12:00pm NoGi session while traveling and had an awesome experience. Tim and the entire crew were incredibly warm and welcoming. The training was fast paced and valuable and the rounds were all very tough and technical. Lots of upper belts on the mats which can be hard to find.
Absolutely a phenomenal training environment by a great professor! I travel for work and Team Cobra welcomed me with open arms! A great school who maintains the core of jiu jitsu. Great training, safe environment, and a clean facility. Hope to come back to the area to get some more time on the mats with the team.
New to BJJ? Start at Team Cobra Jiu-Jitsu
Team Cobra 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 Team Cobra 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.
