From the reviews
I have been training at TysonsBJJ for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Everyone is so friendly and Coach Bill is thorough on instructing how and why you should perform moves certain ways. As a female I feel it is extremely important to have a plan, if you ever need to protect yourself.
I have been attending classes at Tyson's BJJ for over a year and a half. Bill's mastery of the art and attention to the small details of technique make all the diference. Just as importantly, the men and women who attend this school are a solid group of people who keep me constantly challenged.
Excellent instruction and fun learning environment. Coach Bill is knowledgeable on multiple types of self defense techniques and works with everyone to improve their technique. The gym is clean; co-located with Crossfit Tysons Corner and has showers, changing rooms, and plenty of mat space.
Today I was happy to receive a lesson from coach Bill Grinnell.He has not only high level of professionalism, but also deep spiritual knowledge. Incredible atmosphere charges our training with special energy. Thank you coach Bill Grinnell for great experience. This place definitely became my second home.
New to BJJ? Start at Tysons Brazilian Jiu jitsu and Haganah
Tysons Brazilian Jiu jitsu and Haganah 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 Tysons Brazilian Jiu jitsu and Haganah
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.
