From the reviews
Visited this location for the first time a few weeks ago. Very clean and a lot of mat space. The thing that I loved the most was the family like atmosphere. I feel like I could learn a lot here as the coaches and higher belts were all knowledgeable, friendly and patient.
Amazing instructors. For those wanting to learn i can guarantee you have not only top instructors, but amazing role models for not only adults but for your children. The dedication the Instructors at Team Octopus has here is next level.
Been part of team octopus for half a year now. These guys are amazing. The Henderson location is huge with super clean and soft mats. Everyone is welcome and they make you feel like part of a family. If you every wanted to give Jiu Jitsu a shot you will not regret choosing this place.
I’ve been training off and on with Professor Chris for almost 10 years now, and seeing him make the progress all the way to a new school in Las Vegas has been amazing. Got to observe his patience and skill with new kid’s class today and it was impressive! Highly recommend!
New to BJJ? Start at Team Octopus Jiu Jitsu
Team Octopus 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 Octopus 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.
