From the reviews
Outstanding experience. Gym was super clean. People were very welcoming. Alex and David the owners who are black belts were wonderful host and great rolls. Strongly recommend this gym for anyone looking to sharpen their skills through sparring.
The best! Huge shoutout to Emily who teaches the womens class on Sundays which has been such a game changer for me! It’s fantastic to have this kind of community and incredible instruction.
The coop has a woman’s class taught by Emely on Sundays at 3pm. This class is EVERYTHING! If you are a woman looking for a safe place, great community, a knowledgeable and patient coach, laughs and treats. Then you should definitely come here!!! I highly recommend them 😊. See y’all on the mat 🥋
Super cool little spot with really awesome people. I was working in the area and although there was a different gym closer to the hotel, they never responded and didn’t have as many class choices. I reached out on social media and got a very quick response.
New to BJJ? Start at The Coop BJJ
The Coop BJJ 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 The Coop BJJ
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.
