From the reviews
I can't say enough about this place. It is a second home for our family. We found Xcell when they just opened 3 years ago. We were searching for a martial art for our daughters. They have grown so much and have developed into leaders.
My son and I have been members of Xcell for over 3yrs now. All the coaches are amazing with the adults and kids. Professor Jorge, Coach Kelly, Coach Rob, Coach Enea, are Coach Andy, have help my son learn confidence, self defense, and self discipline.
Xcell Jiu-Jitsu is a gem in the world of martial arts academies. It offers top-notch instruction, outstanding facilities, a comprehensive curriculum, a supportive community, and a legacy of success. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting your martial arts journey, Xcell Jiu-Jitsu is the place to be.
While visiting Boynton Beach I decided to take some lessons at Xcell Jiu Jitsu Academy. BJJ is a new sport for me, but I felt completely welcomed and supported at my level. I was so impressed with both the kindness and the attention I received from instructors and students alike.
New to BJJ? Start at Xcell Jiu Jitsu Academy
Xcell Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Xcell Jiu Jitsu Academy
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.
