From the reviews
As a dad it has been a life long dream of mine to give me kids a life I wished I had. I have tried and tried again to find a place that my kids love going to and I finally found it here.
Professor Hansen and the entire coaching staff are not only world-class practitioners but also amazing teachers who are passionate about sharing their knowledge. The instruction is clear, detailed, and tailored to individual progress, whether you're a beginner or advanced practitioner.
Team Hansen BJJ is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. The environment is incredibly welcoming, and the atmosphere is truly family-friendly. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, you’ll feel right at home here.
I have been training for 24 years all over the country. Andrew is probably one of the kindest souls iv ever met. He is also a once in a life time coach to work with. Professor Carl is world class in both bjj amd muay thai. The facility is clean, welcoming and very well designed.
New to muay thai? Start at Hansen Jiu Jitsu
Hansen 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 Hansen 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.
