From the reviews

We've been attending this gym for a little over 2 years and I've been meaning to write a review for a little while now... If you have a little one that you're considering martial arts for, CHOOSE THIS GYM!

★★★★★ — Christiana, May 2023

I’ve been training at Rockstar Martial Arts for a few years now and Coach Somalia and Coach Lawson are fantastic! I was nervous for my first class since I had never trained martial arts but everyone made me feel so welcome. The coaches are incredibly knowledgable and patient and teach a very well rounded curriculum.

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Nov 2024

Rockstar has had such a positive influence on our family in a relatively short timespan (hard to believe it’s only been roughly 6 months now!). Coach Austin embodies a team-centric, family style environment day in day out, which is something a lot of places might say they do, but usually end up falling short.

★★★★★ — Matt, Apr 2021

I highly recommend RockStar Martial Arts - North Prosper. My son was very shy and hesitant to participate when he first started, but Coach Lawson and Simour were incredibly patient, encouraging, and supportive with him. They took the time to help him feel comfortable, and now he has really warmed up to the program.

New to BJJ? Start at RockStar Martial Arts - North Prosper | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self-Defense

RockStar Martial Arts - North Prosper | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self-Defense 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 RockStar Martial Arts - North Prosper | Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self-Defense

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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
