From the reviews

After four years of training, I switched to TTJJ and couldn’t be happier with the decision. The gym offers strong foundational Jiu-Jitsu, and Ron is an exceptional instructor who truly cares about his students’ progress. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the gym culture is phenomenal.

★★★★★ — Brent, Sep 2024

Dropped in while out of town. Ron and team were very welcoming and enjoyed the classes.

★★★★★ — Mike, Apr 2025

I started Jiu Jitsu five months ago with Tried & True Jiu Jitsu at the age of 63. From day one, I was welcomed like family. The owner, Ron is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve, regardless of experience level and in my case age.

★★★★★ — Hamer, Jul 2026

Joining Tried and True Jiu-Jitsu has completely changed my life. Since starting here, I’ve lost almost 100 pounds and reached fitness levels I never thought possible — especially at 40 years old.

New to BJJ? Start at Tried and True Jiu Jitsu

Tried and True 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 Tried and True 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.

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.
