From the reviews

Brand new facility, very nice looking and will continue to look better as they have settled in. Eric is a great instructor who has been training for many years. One of the nicest people you will meet as well. No culty stuff, just good technical jiu jitsu and some old guys weezing, sorry im one of those guys.

★★★★★ — Charles, Feb 2025

Speaking as a drop-in visitor with a group of guys from a gym out-of-county (Torres BJJ), I, along with the entire group, felt warmly welcomed by the owner and instructor of this facility, Eric!! This facility has a nice presentation and convenient layout as soon as you walk in the front door.

★★★★★ — Paul, Jan 2025

I have gone to two classes. The instructor Eric is super nice and very patient. He explains things in a simple, easy to understand way. All the other students are welcoming, supportive, and very helpful. The space is very clean. There is a shower if you want, between work and class. Open mat area is super big.

New to BJJ? Start at Zero K Jiu-Jitsu

Zero K Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Zero K 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.

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.
