The instructor is awesome with the kids! My children have a great time when they go to class, it gets them active and they learn self defense in the process! Will definitely recommend to everyone I know!
Great family involvement. Great people. Make friends. Good for beginners and up to any experience level
Incredible group of people here. Coach Null is a fantastic instructor who is able to explain technique simply, and in a way that produces repeatable results after a single lesson. I really enjoyed my two weeks training here while I was away from my home gym. Thank you, everyone
Your first BJJ class at True Grit Jiu Jitsu and Defense
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.
