From the reviews
This place is just great all around. The mats are always spotless. The room is full of natural light and climate controlled. And there is even free highspeed WIFI for cox customers. As for the instructors, both Mike and Marissa are true masters of the craft and make you feel welcome the moment you step on the mats.
I was so lucky I found this gym! I've been training Jiu-Jitsu for four years in Seattle and started training in the adult classes here while I was stationed in Yorktown for 3 months. I can confidently say Mike is one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure of training with.
I'm new to BJJ and have felt safe and welcomed in every class at Studio 360. Mike and Marissa always take the time to break down drills, answer my questions, and challenge me appropriately. Everyone in class has been so friendly and I've had so much fun learning the past few weeks.
We were in town for a family vacation. Happened to see there was a local gym just a minute from where we were staying. Stopped in for the Saturday morning jiujitsu open mat and were very happy with the turn out and amount of quality rolls. Mike and Marissa were absolutely wonderful hosts. We will be back for sure.
New to judo? Start at Studio 360 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Thai Boxing/Judo/Self-Defense
Studio 360 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Thai Boxing/Judo/Self-Defense 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 Studio 360 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Thai Boxing/Judo/Self-Defense
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.
