From the reviews
My 6yo son started in the junior class a few months ago with Miss Sam. She does a fantastic job teaching the complexities of jiu jitsu to a rambunctious group. With the encouragement of Professor John I joined the adult BJJ class that coincides with the jr class. I’m glad he did!
I’ve been coming to this gym for the last 4 months or so and I absolutely love it. John is an amazing BJJ instructor and teaches me individually given my previous wrestling experience. The entire experience is welcoming and engaging.
Fantastic teachers and very kind staff! John is raw but professional and you can tell he knows his stuff! The teachers are extremely energetic and patient particularly when dealing with the younger kids, but they still keep things orderly and disciplined...
This place is a must for any Muay Thai, BJJ training. Everyone you meet is so welcoming starting with John, the owner. They welcome all ages and their instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with you! On top of that, they keep the facility clean! I love this place, and will be coming back when I can.
New to kickboxing? Start at Raleigh Brazilian Jiujitsu and Muay Thai
Raleigh Brazilian Jiujitsu and Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Raleigh Brazilian Jiujitsu and Muay Thai
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.
