From the reviews
I moved to Orlando knowing nobody and am so happy to have found this gym! Great environment and awesome coaches! Update: I have now been here about four years and happier than ever with the family I've made here ❤️
I joined Jungle 2 years ago. It is my second MMA gym and I love it. Great coaching staff, sizable facility including free weights, with an overall positive and supportive environment. Kids and adult class Monday - Saturday. The gym has active fighters involved with local and regional fight promotions.
Listen… the level of professionalism and attention shown to the kids in the 5pm sessions is unparalleled with any other place we’ve been. The patience that each of the coaches shows with each and every one of the kids in session is amazing.
Everyone was super nice and helpful! This was my first time trying out boxing and the instructor was very nice and supportive! Already signed up for more classes! 🤗 My partner and I were pretty new so if we’re making any mistakes in the photos please forgive us lol.
New to BJJ? Start at The Jungle MMA and Fitness
The Jungle MMA and Fitness 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 Jungle MMA and Fitness
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.
