From the reviews
Team Lawton organized a fabulous Jiu-Jitsu Competition event! Everything was well organized the Lawton Team was super friendly! I highly recommend Team Lawton Martial Arts, however, they are more of a family! Another repeat performance for Team Lawton with the Kids No Gi Competition on March 23, 2024! Thank you!
I visited Team Lawton while on a work trip and had a fantastic experience. Jarod, Marcela, and their entire team were very welcoming and helpful. They have a great balance of drilling and situational rolling, including standing work. I've been to a lot of big gyms all over the country, and Team Lawton measures up.
I was referred to Team Lawton by my brother, Joey Brennan, when I expressed interest in utilizing a local gym for weight training. I have been using the gym for several months now and recently signed up for the women’s self defense course.
Stopped in during a business trip. Im glad i did, always good to get a little cross training in. Picked up a good knee on belly tip that will help out. The Lawton team was very friendly and welcoming. Coach and his students were fun to roll with and very technical.
New to BJJ? Start at Team Lawton Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Team Lawton Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Lawton 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.
