Founded in 2018 by 2nd Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Liam McGeown, First Colony members range from complete beginners to advanced black belts.
At First Colony, we see ourselves as a community. A tribe.
Respect, camaraderie, and encouragement are balanced with intensity and a desire to measurably expand in skill and ability.
“Little by little, we get very far.”
Age, weight, skill & fitness level are all irrelevant at First Colony. Whether you’ve been practicing BJJ for decades or have never set foot in a gym, First Colony has a place for you.
The best day to start your Jiu-Jitsu journey is today!
