    Incredible teachers and an amazing environment! My child absolutely loves the classes and looks forward to every session. The atmosphere is calm and structured, and the instructors do a fantastic job teaching discipline, focus, and confidence.

    This is an excellent school! My 10 year old daughter trains here and loves it. The professors are very knowledgeable, patient and gentle. She has already learned so much. Highly recommend this school!

    Fantastic for all ages (4 and up)! Classes are ages 4-6, 7-12, and 13-adult. Teaches physical fitness, discipline, respect, self-defense, grit, and camaraderie, and are fun at the same time. Our daughter has been going for 2 years and has learned and grown so much. Now our 4 year old is going and loves it! The professor and instructors are amazing. We proudly watch our kids each class and they are so happy when they earn a stripe and advance in rank. We do 8 classes per month and that's great because you can be flexible on which days you go (Mon. - Sat.) which is perfect for our busy schedules. Try a free class, you won't regret it!

    This place is amazing! My 2 boys have been going to Andre for almost 2 yrs now. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. They teach the kids self defense and self discipline. They also make sure that the kids are doing the moves right. I would recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu to anyone. The best part is they treat everyone like family. We love GRACIE JIU JITSU Thank you Andre!

    A growing class of kids.

    We have had 2 disappointing experiences at Roll Society Jiu-Jitsu…read more About 6 or so months ago, I was searching for a local spot to supplement my son's primary sport (soccer) with some ground work, thinking jiu-jitsu could help with wrestling-like skills one day a week. We weren't aiming to become competitive fighters, just some extra training around his busy schedule. Initially, they offered a $25 drop-in class advertised for kids. When we arrived, there were no other children in the class. It ended up being essentially a private session with the coach, which they hyped as "more personalized," but it didn't impress us at all. The coaching felt basic, but the biggest issue was the hard sell started immediately, they pushed aggressively for signing up for more sessions or a full membership, even after I clearly explained that soccer was his main focus and we were only looking for occasional drop-ins. We tried a few more sessions (about 4 total), but then they suddenly informed us that drop-ins were no longer available and we'd have to commit to a monthly membership. That didn't align with our needs, so we stopped going. Recently, I noticed on Facebook that the same location had rebranded with a new name and what looked like new ownership. Hoping things had improved (especially for kids programs), I reached out via Messenger. They offered two free trial classes for my son, so we gave it another shot. Upon arriving, it was immediately clear it was the exact same people, same owner, just a new name on the door. They refused to honor the two free classes because we'd been there before (fair enough), but then said we could pay the drop-in fee which they'd previously claimed was discontinued, yet now it was back (now $30). I was fine with paying, but I wanted to observe if any other kids would show up for the "kids" session. None did. The staff (Joe) was rude and dismissive when I asked basic questions, and overall I was made to feel unwelcome. Later on, the person who I had messaged with about the free trials, followed up and claimed he was a new trainer there, and wanted to give my boy a chance to train with him, and everything that had transpired was because of a big mix up. That "Joey" (the rude staff) didn't know anything about our messages or his 2 free classes offer. I appreciated the follow up and the clarification, which is why I'm going to give them two stars instead of one. I get that gyms are businesses and need to make money, but I don't understand the disdain toward someone who just wants to use the drop-in option they advertise--especially when that particular kids class seems empty anyway. If you offer it, why get upset when people take you up on it? Overall, the inconsistent policies, high-pressure sales tactics, and occasional abrasiveness made for 2 frustrating experiences. It doesn't feel like a place that genuinely welcomes casual students or supports young athletes with busy schedules. It seems more focused on locking people into long-term commitments. We won't be going back, and I'd advise other parents to explore other options that prioritize the students over aggressive upselling.

He's incredibly experienced, patient, and great at teaching beginners. The owner is also very friendly and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment for everyone. Classes include a good mix of beginners and amateur fighters, but everyone is there to improve and support each other. If you're looking for a mental and physical challenge, this is the place. Quick tip: definitely pick up some gloves and wraps on Amazon before your first class--you'll thank yourself later. Give their free trial a shot--you won't regret it!

The gym offers a welcoming environment (at first) and a solid Jiu Jitsu program for beginners and hobbyists. However, the curriculum for kids lacks depth and progression for more advanced students, making it less suitable for those seeking a more competitive or rigorous training experience. In fact, the lack of a structured program for advanced students actually lead to skill stagnation and regression, as there isn't enough focus on refining or advancing techniques. While the gym may be a great fit for casual practitioners, it may not meet the needs of students aiming to compete or pursue Jiu Jitsu at a higher level.
