From day one training with Dave, I felt welcomed and supported. Dave is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve. The training is top-notch: structured classes, clear instruction, and plenty of attention to detail. Safety and respect are clearly priorities here, which creates an awesome culture on and off the mats. The teammates are friendly, humble, and always willing to help—no egos, just hard work and good vibes. If you’re looking for a place to learn jiu jitsu, get in great shape, and be part of a strong, positive community, this is the gym. Highly recommend to anyone at any experience level. 🥋💪

Dave (owner) was my first introduction to BJJ, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. He broke things down into easy to understand steps and really drove home what made something work. Super friendly learning environment for anyone who wants to train. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone looking to start or continue their own BJJ training!

Wouldn’t want to train anywhere else. Dave has been my head coach for almost 2 years now and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. The people at Next Level are the kinds of friends and staff you want surrounding you. High level instruction, great customer service, and a clean facility. Go here if you’re serious about training.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Next Level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Boxing. 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! Next Level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Boxing 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 Next Level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Boxing 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 Next Level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Boxing. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
