From the reviews
Been going here for 5 months. Walking through those doors was one of the best decisions of my life. P.J. is the nicest guy you can meet, and is so amazing at teaching people of all levels Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. The group of people there is diverse and welcoming.
PJ is a wonderful instructor and always has a positive attitude and is willing to work with anyone. Hands down one of the best gyms I have been in. If your new or been in BJJ for a while then this is a great place to go!
Great instructors and a good atmosphere! Everyone in class is wiling to help the group improve as a whole. Very welcoming to new students!
Amazing environment and people! PJ goes above and beyond to make sure you understand concepts and are comfortable executing certain moves. It’s a great place to come train if you’re beginner or advanced, 16 or 60 years old, boy or girl, there’s really a variety of people in all different walks of life that come train,…
New to BJJ? Start at Twin Rivers BJJ
Twin Rivers BJJ 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 Twin Rivers BJJ
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.
