I have been training here for half a year and have had only amazing experiences. Within the time I have been training here I have noticed that it is always clean and I have never heard any foul language from my instructors.

I’m 35 and both me and my 6 year old son take lessons at Zachary Martial Arts. This place has a wonderful atmosphere. Mr. Cloonan is a great instructor and he is excellent with the kids. They offer multiple class times throughout the week and are continuing to offer more class times for those with busy schedules.

Your first BJJ class at Zachary Martial Arts

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
