From the reviews

My son and I have been at Valle Jiu Jitsu now for 9 months. We came in as a brand new white belt. We felt welcomed the very first class. This a friendly place with people that enjoy jiu jitsu and yet are competitive on the mat. Professor Lucas is a fantastic teacher and tailors training to each individual.

★★★★★ — Amanda, Feb 2023

Valle BJJ is a great gym/community and hands down the best place to train in New Hampshire. Professor Lucas Valle is a passionate thought leader who provides every student with his maximum attention and the wisdom he's garnered by competing at the highest level of BJJ.

★★★★★ — Dylan, Jun 2023

I am new to this academy, but I couldn't be more pleased with the atmosphere and level of professionalism. It is a welcoming environment from both staff and students. Professor Lucas and the coaches are knowledgeable and patient. I have been to others schools and this is my favorite so far.

New to BJJ? Start at Valle Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Valle Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 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 Valle Brazilian 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.
