From the reviews
Can’t recommend the Arena enough. They have helped my son with finding confidence in his personal strength and athletic abilities. The time invested by the coach’s at the Arena and the techniques learned have had an immediate impact on his wrestling season.
We love the Arena Combat Acedemy! They literally have something for the entire family! My 7 year old son attends jujitsu 2x a week and my husband attends the adult jujitsu class. They also offer kickboxing which I attend! Overall the place is a 10/10 and the staff is the best around!
Arena Combat Academy is a great place for adults and for children looking for learning Judo, Jiujitsu, Muay Thai Boxing, and wrestling! All of the coaches are amazing and they have helped my son grow into be a respectful, more disciplined young man! I absolutely recommend this gym!
Coaches are some of the best around. They provide a great environment for learning and applying the skills taught. The schedule provides multiple times through the day that is beneficial no matter what your work schedule may be Overall, OUTSTANDING!!
New to BJJ? Start at The Arena Combat Academy - BJJ, MMA, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Self Defense, Kids BJJ, Judo, Martial Arts, Jiu Jitsu
The Arena Combat Academy - BJJ, MMA, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Self Defense, Kids BJJ, Judo, Martial Arts, 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 The Arena Combat Academy - BJJ, MMA, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Self Defense, Kids BJJ, Judo, Martial Arts, 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.
