From the reviews
United Jiu jitsu has been a blessing to my family. Since my boys and I joined, we’ve gained great Jiu jitsu knowledge and conditioning beyond any limits. The adult classes have treated my older teenage son and I very well with some awesome partners to help work with us in learning every lesson each night and also…
Excellent Jiu Jitsu academy with top-notch instruction and a great community. The coaches are highly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to helping students progress at every level. The environment is welcoming and respectful, making it an ideal place for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
There aren’t enough words to explain the greatness of this place. The team is very welcoming and the culture is amazing. I stepped in a couple different gyms before joining United, but this one was the one that made feel right at home.
United jiujitsu is such an amazing gym and everyone is very friendly and welcoming, our coach Carlos is always there when needed and does a great job with little one all the way to our adults, I love being able to help out with the kids classes and seeing the kids growing.
New to BJJ? Start at United Jiujitsu Team
United Jiujitsu Team comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 United Jiujitsu Team
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.
