From the reviews
We visited The Grey to cross train our kids while traveling across state. We were so appreciative that they were willing to have us, and open to cross training. Coach was amazing and explained everything in great detail. Our kids left learning a lot and meeting new kids to roll with. We felt very welcome visiting.
Everyone is super nice.Very informative. Coaches and students are people with great character
My daughter joined The Grey just over a year ago. The atmosphere is amazing. Very Family oriented, all ages encouraged. I can not say enough how amazing this establishment has been for my daughter. They teach discipline, respect, teamwork, and so much more!
Ralph was super welcoming and taught good techniques. I was traveling and stopped in for a Friday afternoon class. All the people at the gym were super friendly as well.
Your first BJJ class at The Grey 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.
