From the reviews
This gym has become my key to self-preservation. Jiu-jitsu helps me release worries and self-doubt by connecting mind and body. Referred by a friend, I had no prior experience beyond kickboxing 10 yrs prior but was warmly welcomed, especially by Laurie’s group at first.
Professor Robert, Shane and the training staff here are incredible. Whether you are learning BJJ or striking, or you are an amateur to veteran, you will be hard pressed to find a culture and society as affectual in teaching and investing in you.
I am a husband, father, first responder, coach and athlete. I have been coming here for over 10 years, and I couldn’t give it a higher recommendation. It is a complete melting pot of different people, personalities, experience levels and ability. The instructors are great at adapting to various levels and ages.
Started Kickboxing and BJJ this month and I’m very impressed. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and professional. The environment is so welcoming and encouraging! Definitely a place to come get away from daily stress and learn real and valuable skills.
New to kickboxing? Start at BJJ OLYMPIA - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu | Kickboxing | MMA | Self Defense | Private Lessons | Kids Classes
BJJ OLYMPIA - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu | Kickboxing | MMA | Self Defense | Private Lessons | Kids Classes comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at BJJ OLYMPIA - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu | Kickboxing | MMA | Self Defense | Private Lessons | Kids Classes
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
