From the reviews
I can't say enough great things about Gracie Barra Roseville! My family and I have had an amazing experience training here. The instructors, Professor Kristóf and Professor Tassia, are truly outstanding. Their expertise, dedication, and passion for jiu jitsu shine through in every class.
A place for EVERYONE (regardless of differences) to grow, meet cool people, and build confidence. Do you get that at a regular gym? NO. I can not remember the last time I went to a gym and actually talked to people, exchanged numbers or IG info.
World class instruction and training! There are so many things I love about going to this gym. My whole family trains here, and we all love it. Professor Tassia and Professor Kristóf are very welcoming to anyone who wants to train.
As a woman who was new to California, I was nervous to try jiu jitsu, but I'm so grateful I came here. Professor's Tassia and Kristof are nothing short of amazing, and really make you feel like they know who you are, and you a part of a community.
New to BJJ? Start at Gracie Barra Roseville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Gracie Barra Roseville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot 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 coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Barra Roseville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
