From the reviews
My son has been going to Bluestarrr for 6 years. He is now a freshman in high school, a varsity wrestler and as a 13 year old could handle himself against grown men. If you have any doubts about the validity of jiujitsu or what it can do for you or your child, come watch.
Blue star grappling has been at changing Grace in my life. My two oldest daughters and I have been going here for approximately four years. Professor Sadiq has so much to offer, in jiu-jitsu and life. All the coaches and team members are wonderful and humble. This is our second home. Would definitely recommend.
My family & I love Bluestarr! We have been a part of the gym for a little over two years. Coach Sadiq and his team have taught our kids self defense, confidence, teamwork, and have given them a place to make friendships that will last a lifetime. This gym is family orientated and dedicated to hard work!
Attention parents who are hesitant in placing their kids in Judo classes, hopefully this puts your nerves at ease. Sadiq is AMAZING. He takes his classes very seriously but from the moment you walk in the door it’s all family oriented vibes.
New to judo? Start at Bluestarr Grappling - Jiujitsu and Judo
Bluestarr Grappling - Jiujitsu and Judo comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never stepped on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and sensei scale the intensity to you. Second, you'll start by learning to fall safely (ukemi) — reputable dojos build fundamentals (breakfalls, grips, a first throw and some groundwork) for weeks, live randori eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps everyone safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and remember to bow in and show respect (rei). Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first judo class at Bluestarr Grappling - Jiujitsu and Judo
Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
