From the reviews
Amazing dojo built around technical skills and mastering the sport. Everyone who trains there is respectful and welcoming, not a bad class or a bad training partner. The Judo brilliantly compliments the Jiu-Jitsu learned leading to very effective whole body learning.
This place is awesome. Should be called Zen MMA not just Jiu Jitsu. Large focus on Jiu Jitsu but they also have Judo taught by a black belt, Wrestling which is applicable to all fighting and opportunities to learn Muay Thai. My sons 11 and 5 go here and they get so excited on the days we are going.
Zen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is everything you could want in a martial arts school and more. Wen, the owner, along with the other instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, offering personalized guidance whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner.
I can’t say enough great things about this school—my son and I felt welcomed like family from day one. The instructors are patient & knowledgeable. The supportive atmosphere from other students makes every class a great experience.
New to BJJ? Start at Zen Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Zen Brazilian 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 Zen Brazilian 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 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.
