From the reviews
Dave and the other black belt coaches are the best. Very attentive to technique and gives the best competition tested lessons. Whether you are looking to join in order to compete or just want to make a hobby out of it and get a good sweat in the instructors and training partners are always welcoming.
Red Rooster is a great place to train. Dave is one of the best to train with and has a great attention to detail. He is an amazing teacher with excellent perspective and personality. The team is incredible all around and we all help each other to improve.
What makes Dave stand out from the rest is how intensely loyal he is to you not only as a teacher and a mentor but as a friend. He is one of the best men I am glad to call a brother. I wish I didn’t live states away.
Dave is one of the most detail oriented people I know and he makes sure to keep everyone safe. I’m happy to call him one of my best friends. Will gladly travel for him.
Your first BJJ class at Red Rooster BJJ
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. 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.
