From the reviews
My kiddos have been training at Torrent for about six months now. They were completely new to the sport and immediately felt welcomed and part of the Torrent team. They love jiu-jitsu and are excited to go to class every week and ask about it almost every day. The kids program is a great mix of training and fun.
I joined Torrent over a month ago, and you will be hard pressed to find a more welcoming gym. Mike is incredibly knowledgable and has a very eloquent way of explaining the intricacies of the sport, especially in the way he does so with new people.
I have truly enjoyed my experience at Torrent and am impressed with the school that Mike has put together. As an older practitioner, it was important to me that I have some flexibility and choices in selecting how intense (or not!) that I am able to train.
Torrent is a great gym to start your Jiu-Jitsu journey. The gym is well maintained and the mats are super clean. Torrents provide their members with a changing area, bathrooms and showers. Owner/ Head Coach Mike is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the sport.
New to BJJ? Start at Torrent Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Torrent Brazilian 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 Torrent Brazilian 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.
