From the reviews
What an amazing group of guys & girls! No matter what your reason to try Jiu Jitsu is they offer it all and if you’ve got young children then this is where they need to be!
I have cross trained with members of Shark Pit multiple times whether at my school or theirs. I have also been coached by their head instructor in competition. They are always welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The facility is very clean and as an added bonus they have access to a great changing area/locker room.
One day I decided that I needed a new hobby, and I was considering golf or bowling. Neither of these options included 18th Century Japanese apparel as a condition of participation, and that was a non-starter.
I have so many positive things to say about Shark Pit that I don’t even know where to start. My daughter was a meek 1st grader that joined when Shark Pit opened at the Sportsplex. She previously went to another facility, but it was not what she needed.
Your first muay thai class at Shark Pit Brazilian 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.
