From the reviews
I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu now for going on 5 years. I am currently a student and I continue to learn more and more every day. The facility is extremely clean and well laid out, the instructors are top notch, and the training environment is family friendly and a great atmosphere.
I just attended my first BJJ class last night here. It's something I have been wanting to try for years but just could never make fit my schedule. I was extremely impressed with the facility, instructors, and other students. I'm excited to have the opportunity to learn here for many years to come.
This is the first Jiu jitsu gym I’ve ever been a part of and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My son and I train here 3-4 days a week and both the adults and the kids classes are amazing and the coaching staff is top notch.
Absolutely love the welcoming environment, instruction and facilities of this place. After a week trial we knew we wanted to join this gym. I joined, and my 9 year old joined. The fact that he actually smiles and has fun here, tells me all I need to know about this place.
New to kickboxing? Start at The Mount BJJ & MMA - Mount Airy
The Mount BJJ & MMA - Mount Airy 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 The Mount BJJ & MMA - Mount Airy
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.
