From the reviews
Hands down, First BJJ Riverton is the best place around! If you're curious about Jiu Jitsu, they'll give you a couple of free classes so you can try it out - even kids get trial classes. The owners are very hands-on, they give all of their expertise in training.
I did trial runs at a few different gyms in The Valley before I finally settled here. The lead instructor is a multiple-time world champion and all of the instructors are excellent at teaching practical techniques and place a heavy emphasis on live rolling and application.
I put off getting into BJJ for years and finally found the courage to walk through the doors. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made! The professors are incredible and my teammates are like family. This is the best place to train in the state and it’s right in our backyard.
I’ve had a really great experience at Wolves Den Jiu Jitsu! As soon as you walk in, it feels super welcoming and clean, and the vibe is just really positive. The coaches are really good at what they do and actually take time to help you get better, no matter if you’re new or have been training for a while.
New to BJJ? Start at Wolves Den Jiu Jitsu Riverton
Wolves Den Jiu Jitsu Riverton 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 Wolves Den Jiu Jitsu Riverton
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.
