From the reviews
My family and I started our Jiu-Jitsu journey at this gym. I have watched first hand the impact Professor Adrian has had on my children and myself! He is dedicated to the purity of this sport, encouraging discipline and perseverance! The confidence that my children and I have found is an investment I will never regret!
My daughter has been training here for 2.5 years now and I have seen such an improvement in her confidence! She has gone from a shy timid girl to an outgoing, brave and confident girl! She has blown me away with how much she has learned. This instructors here are amazing!
Great BJJ school and absolutely fantastic instructor, especially for kids. I’ve been to several BJJ schools and this one is by far my favorite.
Not only do you learn world-class jiu-jitsu, but you also become part of a family that pushes you to grow.
New to BJJ? Start at Vera Jiu Jitsu
Vera 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 Vera 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.
