From the reviews
I feel sad for the review down below. Hope you can see it on the other way around. Anyway! I dont have much coming to this location but I like for the fact that its very clean, it has enough space and most of the instructors are very patience and help alot.
I can't speak highly enough about my experience at Good Tree MMA. The instructors have truly transformed my life, both on and off the mat. Jiu Jitsu has become an invaluable outlet for me. What sets Good Tree MMA apart is the undeniable camaraderie among teammates.
So i started coming to good tree about a year ago so I figured it would be a good time to leave a review. I came into this gym completely blind with no experience grappling. The owners and teachers here were very friendly and welcoming.
Good Tree MMA has assembled a team of instructors who are truly experts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Striking, and all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts. Training with this team has been a transformative experience for me, both physically and mentally.
New to judo? Start at Good Tree MMA
Good Tree MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. 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 Good Tree MMA
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.
