From the reviews
If you're looking for the BEST kids’ and Adult jiu jitsu program in West Palm Beach, look no further! My daughter and son-in-law have poured their heart, soul, and world-class expertise into building an incredible martial arts program over the last 10+ years in the community of west palm beach.
My favorite part of the week is going to my Jiu-Jitsu classes. I’ve been practicing this sport for a few years now and have trained at several different gyms, but The People’s Jiu-Jitsu has really stuck with me.
My daughters are now 10 & 6 have been taking Ju Jitsu classes with coach Tubby & Eric for about two years now and I’ll tell you that I have witnessed, first hand just how much confidence, strength and skill they’ve gained by training with their coaches whom not only teach but personally demonstrate and work hands on…
The people’s jiu jitsu is hands down the BEST jiu jitsu program in the palm beach area. Tubby and Eric have built more then just a team and more then just another school. They will help you achieve personal goals, instruct you in realistic self defense, and increase self confidence.
New to BJJ? Start at The People’s Jiu Jitsu
The People’s 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 People’s 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.
