If
you're
someone
looking
for
a
bjj/fighting
gym
as
a
new
martial
artist,
this
may
not
the
place
for
you.
I
visited
this
facility
on
two
separate
occasions.
They
were
gracious
enough
to
allow
me
a
couple
free
trial
classes,
and
thank
goodness
because
I
wouldn't
personally
invest
too
much
stock
and
energy
into
going
back.
The
first
night
I
went
to
trial
a
Brazilian
Jiu-jitsu
class
and
was
instructed
on
when
to
arrive
and
to
wear
workout
clothes.
Upon
arrival
I
was
greeted
by
some
not
so
friendly
looking
faces.
People
who
kind
of
just
stared
at
me
as
I
walked
in
the
door
and
had
to
stammer
through
why
I
was
there.
Liability
waiver
was
signed
and
I
was
shown
where
to
go
to
change
and
meet
the
instructor
back
at.
I
was
given
a
gi
top
to
wear
over
my
shorts
to
run
through
class
in.
The
instructing
for
this
class,
Todd,
was
not
super
articulate
or
favorable
for
someone
brand
new
to
the
art,
and
I
was
not
shown
a
particularly
attentive
amount
of
separate
instructing
besides
my
partner,
Leah,
who
ended
up
being
the
most
helpful
(as
a
fellow
newer
white
belt)
by
the
end
of
class
I
had
walked
off
the
mat
to
speak
briefly
with
the
instructor
who
was
more
concerned
with
telling
me
pricing
instead
of
any
kind
of
class
follow
up,
then
requested
I
give
the
gi
top
back
there
-
where
I
took
it
off
exposing
just
a
sports
bra
underneath.
Which
is
fine
in
itself,
if
I
hadn't
have
felt
so
small
otherwise.
Fast
forward
a
couple
days,
I
wanted
to
give
the
kickboxing
class
a
shot
even
knowing
I'd
not
be
going
back
for
bjj.
The
kickboxing
instructor,
Marco
ended
up
being
super
lighthearted,
personable,
and
inviting
for
someone
new.
He
gave
me
a
sense
of
humbleness
in
what
he
did,
which
is
what
I
look
for
in
particular
in
an
instructor
for
me.
Unfortunately,
I
was
greeted,
again,
by
an
unwelcoming
front
desk
staff
member
who
wouldn't
acknowledge
me
until
I
hesitantly
approached,
and
was
still
met
with
callousness.
I
give
the
gym
overall
two
stars
because
the
facility
itself
is
marvelous,
with
a
wide
variety
of
options
outside
of
bjj/kickboxing
for
fitness.
This
includes
a
full
gym
with
Olympic
weights,
and
a
full
upper
training
deck.
The
bathrooms
were
clean
and
modern
as
well.
For
someone
who
has
trained
in
martial
arts
for
20
years,
the
subpar
instructing
(with
the
exception
of
Marco
*thumbs
up*)
was
okay
for
me
-
having
knowledge
of
fundamentals
and
being
very
teachable.
For
someone
who's
new
to
any
kind
of
martial
art,
though,
I
would
not
recommend.
