From the reviews
Steadily becoming one of the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gyms in the region. Team Flo BJJ - is an affiliate of New England United BJJ, the head instructor is Black Belt Renan Borges a IBJJF world champion.
Team Flo is one of my all time favorite places to be. There is something extremely special about the environment that has been created there by Chris Piscione. My teammates are all passionate and hardworking individuals. What really makes Team Flo stand out is the incredible dedication of the coaches there.
Excellent group of people all levels. Chris (owner - instructor) is excellent to work with and everyone on the team is willing to help you grow every step of the way. We have some amazing rolls and if you want to continue to grow this is the place to be. Amazing rolls, true team training and this team is a family.
Smash Mouth, Hardknocks, Toughest gym around. Great instruction for all levels, but if you are like me, you also like a good tough rolls. Great instruction from Chris (owner) and plenty of classes throughout the week. Love it.
New to BJJ? Start at Team Flo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Team Flo Brazilian 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 Flo Brazilian 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.
