From the reviews

While we are new our experience with Team Fusion has been nothing short of extraordinary. As parents, we are thrilled to see both our daughter, Aria, and our son, Toby, flourish in this remarkable martial arts academy. From the very start, it was evident that Team Fusion was the right fit for our family.

★★★★★ — Angelique, Aug 2023

My daughter (who is 7 1/2) has been at Fusion for 16 months now and has been great for her. She has made such a positive evolution since starting Fusion. I have watched her develop more confidence in dealing with other kids and I have seen her stand up for herself.

★★★★★ — Derek, Jan 2017

Awesome gym! Awesome coaches! My 8 year old just finished his first year at Team Fusion and has won a gold medal in the AGF tournament and a silver in the Fuji tournament. My 16 year old joined about 6 months ago.

★★★★★ — Brian, Mar 2018

I love this gym. My kids have taken to bjj quite well, and my daughter found a new desired career after initially having no interest. This is a very hands on gym with knowledgeable coaches/fighters. It's not some old guy just telling them what to do and shadow practicing.

New to BJJ? Start at Team Fusion Jiu-Jitsu & MMA

Team Fusion Jiu-Jitsu & MMA 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 Fusion Jiu-Jitsu & MMA

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
