From the reviews
My son started classes only recently but I already see the positive impact. Mr. T and his crew have been great with the young kids, helping them understand the techniques, while also providing lessons for outside the dojo. I see how much fun he has at each class and know this is a great fit for him.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough about how amazing my experience at Subforce Bjj has been! From the moment I walked in, I felt like part of a family. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, making it easy for newcomers to feel at home.
My first Jiu Jitsu trial class was fantastic! The Instructor was incredibly kind,helpful, the lesson was specific,detailed. Everyone there was great. I highly recommend this professional business to anyone interested In martial arts.
I joined SubForce about 3 months ago after researching several options for academies in the area. I find the instruction to be top-notch. Marcos and Abraham have a lot of knowledge and they also come to every class well prepared; they are very intentional about their lesson plans.
New to muay thai? Start at Subforce Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy
Subforce Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy 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 Subforce Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy
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.
