From the reviews
Love Love Love! My son has become so much more self confident. He takes a lot of pride in how his appearance is in class. He looks forward to going to each class. My son has learned so much more than Jiu Jitsu and Judo. Sensei Wayne also teaches them life lessons that he uses daily.
I have taken classes with professor Wayne for a few months now and I have really enjoyed my time. I love how he switches up the warm ups and makes us do challenging Jiu Jitsu inspired games. He has taught me great and useful techniques and he makes the classes fun.
Before we bow out of class, our instructor, Professor Wayne Hargrove says, “Practice makes...” Then, in unison, we respond, “Progress.” He taught us that, “Practice Makes Progress.” If you learn from him, you will progress to heights you never imagined. You can feel something special about his academy, Team ConneXions.
Team ConneXions has been and incredible blessing to myself and my son. Admin is extremely polite . The environment is family friendly and inviting. My son started tutoring with Professor Wayne over the summer and was dealing with having some anxiety in his 4th grade classroom .
Your first BJJ class at Team ConneXions Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy
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.
