From the reviews
This place is incredible! From the moment I called, Professor Joe informed me of the class schedule, went over the Professors, invited me for a free trial class and assured me that I would love it! It was my first time taking a BJJ class and everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly!
What an amazing modern gym! One of the best pristine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu facilities I’ve ever seen. Learning from the best Professors Herbert Burns, Joe Cianciotto and Korey Maguire. It feels like home and a family each time I walk in. The vibes and positive energy they have created is so welcoming and loving.
Clean facility taught by one of the most respected Jiu-Jitsu coaches Herbert Burns, UFC fighter,
The Way Martial Arts is a super welcoming BJJ community. Our son has been coming here since March and loves the coaches. Professor Korey is very knowledgeable and makes sure his students understand everything they are learning. Coach Tial is an amazing kickboxing coach as well.
New to BJJ? Start at The Way Martial Arts – Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing Lantana, FL
The Way Martial Arts – Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing Lantana, FL 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 Way Martial Arts – Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing Lantana, FL
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.
