From the reviews
I barely know where to begin. Training at Lovato's School of BJJ has been life-changing for me. I began my Jiu-Jitsu journey after we enrolled my son in the Little Warriors program at Lovato's. We were looking for an activity that would provide some positive structure to our typically wild 4 year old.
Joined Professor Lovato’s school a few months ago and am really enjoying training here. As an older brown belt from another affiliation, I was a little apprehensive joining but have been made to feel very welcome.
I’ve been training at Lovatos for a little over 2 years now and I can’t recommend this academy enough. All the coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful, and the facility is amazing! I have learned SO much and feel lucky to be able to learn from Professor Lovato himself.
We have been around Lovato's family for few years now. After a short pause, we're back, my son absolutely loves coming to class and interact with all the kids and coaches. Lovato BJJ is not only a great place to bring your kids to train how to defend themselves but also to learn discipline and respect to others.
New to muay thai? Start at Lovato's School of BJJ & MMA
Lovato's School of BJJ & MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Lovato's School of BJJ & MMA
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.
