Roll Dogs is an excellent school. Family run with Coach K. Rojo, Coach assistant son in law Efren and daughter Jojo Rojo. I have both my kids going there and they enjoy learning the different styles of MMA, jujitsu and Muay Thai. It’s a great time to get to the kids involved due to the large amount of kids in the class. U will not be disappointed, Coach Rojo teaches with the right amount of discipline but does not yell at his students. Very comfortable atmosphere. The kids currently will be getting ready to compete in a jujitsu tournament in April.

Kurt has exceptional experience and knowledge in Jiu Jitsu. He’s patient and thorough in his teachings to ensure as a student you learn it properly. He’s great with all age groups, helpful in meeting your goal whether it’s self defense or competition and promotes team work amongst the students. His studio would definitely be my recommendation if looking to learn about Jiu Jitsu and other self defense techniques.

I’ve been training under professor Kurt for about seven years now. Very knowledgeable and has a very realistic approach to the sport and self-defense. The atmosphere is very inviting, good for beginners and people looking for a new school. I bring all of my kids here. Kids classes are separated into two age groups, 5-8 y/o and 9-13y/o. Great for building confidence. Great way to stay in shape and keep your mind sharp. Worth every penny!

I’ve been to other gyms in the past, and I can say that this is the best gym I’ve been too. Professor Kurt and Efren have taught me to be a better jiu jitsu practitioner in the past year I’ve been there since I’ve been training for 3 years prior. If you’re looking for a gym to start your jiu jitsu journey, or to continue it, I HIGHLY recommend this gym.
