From the reviews
My kid loves coming to this gym. They make the kids feel welcomed and they encourage them every step of the way. The warm ups are age appropriate and the techniques are well explained. Classes are offered during the week and on Saturday.
Sebastian and his team are amazing! They’ve created such an inclusive and welcoming space for my son. The coaches are patient, encouraging, and truly care about the students. Highly recommend!
One of the best BJJ and grappling gyms in Santa Maria, super beginner friendly and great family environment!
I have trained with Sebastion for many years and am so happy to see him open his own spot! After rolling here a few times I can say I am very impressed. If you are just passing through or a long time resident it is worth the time to hop into the best grappling gym in Santa Maria.
New to BJJ? Start at Warrior Blood Jiu Jitsu
Warrior Blood Jiu Jitsu 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 Warrior Blood 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. 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.
