From the reviews
Extremely inviting instruction through a very warm and supportive culture. Coach Regis and Jeremy are great instructors; both dedicated in the fine art of teaching others. Everyone here is personable with a positive attitude, helping each student progress at their own pace and level of learning.
I started here in my 30s with no previous exposure to or experience with any type of martial art. My main goal was to learn and become comfortable with a practical form of self defense.
I was a complete newcomer to Jiu Jitsu when I started training at Freedom. Coach Alysa at Freedom JJ is a friendly and welcoming face who makes learning this sport easy and fun. Specifically her women’s only class fosters a spirit of openness and camaraderie, which I feel is Jiu Jitsu at its best.
Our oldest has been enrolled at FJJ for about a year and a half, and we have been very happy with our experience the whole time. He receives an appropriate level of training and discipline from well-trained and knowledgeable coaches. He always has a lot of fun at each practice, but he also always learns a lot.
New to muay thai? Start at Freedom Jiu Jitsu
Freedom Jiu Jitsu 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Freedom Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.
