What to Expect at Your First BJJ Class

Walking into your first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class can feel intimidating — you don’t need to know a single technique to get started. At Excelsior MMA in Hickory, every Adult BJJ class opens with a warm-up, moves into technique instruction with Coach Lesley walking the room, and finishes with supervised live practice matched to your experience level.

Wear comfortable athletic clothes for your first visit, show up 10 minutes early to meet Coach Lesley, and expect to learn one or two techniques you can actually use by the end of class.
