“However, from the first time I walked in, everyone was so welcoming and helpful that you can’t help but love the atmosphere there.”
“The environment is supportive, and every single guy here has become a brother that I can make jokes with while still learning how to better control myself and my environment.”
“Prof Mike does a great job going over the basics as well as going into detail on the more intricate moves can’t wait to see more!”
“My son loves it here and it has helped him learn discipline and to work well with others.”

“Point is, my middle son is skinny and would have never had that kind of confidence before Jiu Jitsu and definitely not to come to protect his little brother.”
From the reviews
UPDATE: ROGUE now offers JUDO💪🏾💯🤙🏽 the only gym on the Northshore and probably the whole state. They have 3 black belt Judo instructors! Im pretty sure of the number of JUDO instructors nowadays. 3 black belts in one gym is insane and the amount of knowledge is unbeatable for one price.
Great Family atmospher where the really care about their students and people who are curious about classes. Classes for a wide range of age so no you aren't too old, they will work with you at your pace.
If you're looking for a new experience to call home this is the place to be! A small close knit community. Classes are the perfect size to get personalized one on one traning especially if you're a beginner. We are looking forward to seeing you on the mats with us!!
Wednesday after class I took my youngest two boys to the gym and put them in child care as I went to pick up my oldest (11yo) from swim practice. While there a much bigger kid started picking on and messing with my youngest (5yo).
New to BJJ? Start at Rogue Jiu Jitsu
Rogue Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Rogue 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.
