My husband started here, then our son, and now me. We all love our BJJ family at Embrace. We have an all woman's BJJ class taught by 2 amazing women. Come give it a try!
My daughter and I are both new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and we absolutely love training at Embrace Martial Arts! The coaches are fantastic, the culture is welcoming, and we truly feel like part of a family. … There are no big egos here.
Then you're in the right place. You don't need any experience to start. Beginners and people who have trained for years take the same classes, and our coaches make sure both get what they need.
Gym clothes are perfect. Bring a jiu jitsu gi if you have one; for No Gi, a rash guard and shorts work best. Nobody gets turned away for not having gear.
No. Competing is completely optional and nobody gets pushed into it. Learning comes first here. If you want to compete, talk to a coach and they will help you get ready.
