Reviews
My son has been training at Lineage BJJ for the past week and a half, and the instructors are simply the best. They’re knowledgeable, firm yet patient, and create a friendly, well-organized environment. It’s the perfect place to help channel my active 5-year-old’s energy in a positive way. I love how supportive everyone is, and we’ll definitely keep coming back!
I love Lineage BJJ! The instructors are knowledgeable and patient with my kids and still help them become disciplined. Coach Kevin is super supportive and encourages all the kids! The equipment is clean and well maintained- never a dirty gym smell! The location is convenient and easy to find. We have become an BJJ family and are excited to continue our skills for years to come!
From the first day we started, the staff at Lineage BJJ made my family and I feel comfortable right away. The discipline in every class is impressive and the instructors clearly know their BJJ and Jiu Jitsu. I love the supportive camaraderie among the students – everyone is encouraging and respectful. The professionalism of the teachers shows in how they run each session and keep the atmosphere clean and focused. I always leave feeling more confident in my self defense skills and grateful for the positive environment. My husband and I highly recommend for anyone looking for quality martial arts training.
Lineage has made me feel comfortable and welcome as a new student. Their instruction is organized and informative. The staff and students are fun and professional. The environment is awesome. Everyone is always willing to share their knowledge and the facility is clean. Couldn't ask for much more from a gym. I highly recommend this gym if you're thinking about starting a journey in BJJ.
We’ve been part of Lineage since 2021, and it’s been an incredible experience from day one. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in everyone’s growth — from beginners to advanced students. The owner and staff create such a positive, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of a family. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, and the environment is both professional and friendly. Training partners are supportive, respectful, and push you to be your best without any ego. Whether you’re here to compete, learn self-defense, or just get in great shape, this is the perfect place to train. We’re proud to have grown with this gym and couldn’t recommend it more!
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?
Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Lineage Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.
DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?
No experience necessary! Lineage Brazilian Jiu Jitsu welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
Most students at Lineage Brazilian Jiu Jitsu train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.
DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?
Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Lineage Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
