From the reviews
We've watched our son's confidence and discipline greatly improve in just one month of participating in classes. We're excited to see how much he grows and evolves under the instruction of this awesome group.
Awesome facility with huge mat space and world class technical grappling instruction by Coach Artin. Highly recommended.
My son has been training here for a long time now, and he has loved it since day 1. Coach Kyle and coach Artin are always really kind and helpful, as are the rest of the coaches here. Family friendly atmosphere.
The atmosphere is amazing, and the athletes training here are exceptional. I had the pleasure of stopping by for a training session. Artin is an excellent professor and a really cool guy.
New to BJJ? Start at TOTAL JIU-JITSU LA
TOTAL JIU-JITSU LA 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 TOTAL JIU-JITSU LA
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.
