From the reviews

My son absolutely loves The Lab. We started off at 3 days a week and now he's doing 5. He's progressed so much over the past 4 months. Jerry is the best coach ever. He is so patient and gives all the kids individual attention. Makes everyone feel welcome and the kids just love it. The parents do as well.

★★★★★ — Jamie, Mar 2021

I am in town for only a couple of nights. I asked to drop in and was graciously accepted. As a nomadic black belt with 25 years of combat sports experience, I can definitely say that this is THE place to train locally. A world class professor, with a deep understanding of the game.

★★★★★ — Blair, Aug 2024

An excellent gym! My 7 year old daughter loves it here! Coach Jerry is an awesome teacher who has not only fun classes, but great technique, and self-defense. I highly recommend this gym to any parents who want their kids to have fun, be challenged, and learn practical tools.

★★★★★ — Tinoa, Oct 2018

Best experience ever . If your a beginner or experienced you are automatically welcomed into the lab. Jerry is an awesome overall person and the best bjj athlete in the valley by far.

New to BJJ? Start at The Lab BJJ LLC

The Lab BJJ LLC 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 Lab BJJ LLC

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
