From the reviews
Very cool gym. Marcio was very welcoming and ensured I had a great time. The gym is very big and supports jiu jitsu, boxing, mma and more.
Everyday this place blows my mind! From techniques to practice sparring, I am thankful for all of the instructors love and dedication for BJJ, MMA and Fighter Fitness.
The boxing class is awesome. It gives you a great workout using boxing technique so you’re learning and improving the craft while getting into shape. Boxing at Valor is different in this way because most other boxing gyms in the area charge you $ to run and do other strength and conditioning drills that you can do on…
Love this place . Everyone was very helpful and informative. Vanessa at the front desk was very descriptive of the available classes and helping my son's with their equipment. I found the environment very upbeat with with a fun and comfortable vibe.
New to BJJ? Start at Valor Martial Arts
Valor Martial Arts 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 Valor Martial Arts
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.
