From the reviews
Started going here about 4 months ago, was very nervous about trying something new. Sensei Woody was able to make me feel comfortable and is a great teacher. I highly recommend coming to try a jiu jitsu class! Great times with great people!
I started going to RMNU knowing absolutely nothing about Jiu-Jitsu or Judo. That was nearly 4 years ago and I continue to train regularly. Every member here is down to earth, helpful, and everyone wants to have fun while learning the sport.
I’ve been going to RNNU for about a year and I’m could not be more satisfied. Coach Woody has a lifelong training career and also black belt in multiple disciplines. It’s a gem in the entire northern IL/ southern WI area. A very straight forward monthly membership and no mumbo-jumbo like some other places.
Great place and great coaches. I had the privilege to train for two nights while visiting family. Very welcoming environment. If you’re looking for a place to train in Beloit/Rockton area you won’t be disappointed. I hope to see y’all again next time I’m in town.
Your first BJJ class at RMNU Rockton Judo & Jiu Jitsu Academy
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.
