Rock-Jitsu: Team Renzo Gracie

I started training at Rock-​Jitsu this summer and it’s been an incredible past few months. Professor Carroll is a knowledgeable and caring teacher who really takes the time to check in with each of the students. I was nervous at the beginning, but everyone is so warm and welcoming that I already feel like a part of the family. Many gyms focus only on fitness or competition, but the BJJ taught at Rock-​Jitsu retains the classical elements of a traditional martial art, namely the emphasis on mental self-​discipline and the applicability to real-​life self defense. The dojo itself is clean and well taken care of. Both the basic and advanced classes are excellent for learning new techniques, getting a good workout, and challenging yourself to become better. I would say the overall atmosphere is one that is safe, respectful, and playful. Since I started training here I’ve noticed huge improvements in my life, not only increased physical fitness, but also confidence, peace of mind, and overall satisfaction with life. I highly recommend Rock-​Jitsu!

What a great dojo to train at!
As a younger kid, I’ve trained at karate, and then later, Greco roman wrestling and wow, can I say neither of them have come close to rock-​jitsu! The professor (as opposed to sensei, although essentially the same thing) constantly keeps his students engaged in the art, sport and lifestyle, both physically and especially mentally, which as one learns, is half the game. Not once has a day of training come by, and do I find myself dreading the workout to come, with training partners and other students always as interested as you are yourself, you are constantly pushed to a new high!

This place is amazing. The instruction is top notch, and the place is great. All the students have respect for each other. I would recommend this place to all who want to learn Martial arts in a safe, clean, friendly place.

Since the first time I stepped onto the mat at Rock Jitsu I realized that Brazilian juijitsu was something special. I’ve been training for approx 7 months.
When I started training Martial Arts I took a kickboxing class with the intention of losing weight. As I learned the art of Muay Thai (Thai style kickboxing) I began to learn the meaning of Martial Arts.
One Art led to another and now I find myself in love with Jui-​Jitsu.
From a Female’s perspective Jujitsu is extremly effective. Learning leverage over strength is one of It’s most beneficial attributes.
From a human perspective, Juijitsu is empowering.
Find yourself walking up the street with your head held high, a smile on your face, and a bounce in your step. and you“ll know
Rock Jitsu Rocks!

I’ve been training here at Rock-​Jitsu for a year now and am totally hooked on BJJ. The students are friendly and help each other learn and practice and Professor Carroll gives clear, detailed and often personalized instruction that you won’t find in many larger jiu jitsu schools. Great way to stay active and super fun. Highly recommended.
