From the reviews
What an amazing first experience I had with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu thanks to coach Mike and all the members at Immortals! Not only did they provide the perfect level of professionalism and respect for the art, but they did so while still making you feel at home and accepted in the group.
I recently had the privilege of training at Immortals Jiu Jitsu, led by Mike and his exceptional team. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The level of technique displayed by the instructors is unmatched, and the friendly atmosphere fosters a sense of camaraderie among students.
Immortals is an excellent training environment. Mike leads a team that is welcoming for competitors and casual practitioners alike. There’s range of competitively successful practitioners in the room, so the emphasis on development is always a key to Mike’s guidance. The kids program is also very sound.
I was looking for a place for my 9 year old son to practice BJJ and when I called Coach Mike Rakshan was very detailed in explaining everything to me and making my son and I feel comfortable. He offered a trial class where we met Coaches Mike Yim and Coach Jason.
New to muay thai? Start at Immortals Jiu Jitsu
Immortals 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 Immortals 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.
