Amazing martial arts instructor super patient and easy going. Doesn’t matter your skill level highly recommended!
Our eldest daughter joined Wu Xing Do when she was seven years old, and now she’s almost fifteen. When she first started, she was very shy and unsure of what to expect but over the years, she has grown so much in confidence and leadership.
Our daughter has been training with Coach Glenn for almost 2.5 years now. Wu Xing Do has become part of our family and strong friendships have been formed. More importantly, we know that when she is there, she is safe and happy. Here is how she feels about Wu Xing Do.
New to BJJ? Start at Wu Xing Do Martial Arts & Fitness
Wu Xing Do Martial Arts & Fitness 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 Wu Xing Do Martial Arts & Fitness
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.
