From the reviews

I started my BJJ journey here at Rollstar MD and I’m glad I did. It’s a great place for beginners and a safe place to learn. Professor Hernan provides a great learning atmosphere while producing results. His students are well trained with good technique. Looking forward to continuing my journey here!

★★★★★ — Saleh, Feb 2022

Incredible martial arts school focused on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with amazing instructors and awesome people from all walks of life training and learning in order to improve themselves and become stronger. Highly recommend.

★★★★★ — Afnan, Nov 2024

Rollstar BJJ is an excellent place to train at wether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner. The training area is safe and clean. The students are friendly and the rolls are tough. Professor Hernan is an excellent mentor.

★★★★★ — Martial, Apr 2024

Professor Hernan & Diego are true students of the game. They coordinated with me to schedule a date to teach a seminar and last week we made the event come to fruition. Very few instructors expose their students to other Professors for fear of losing them and or having their own game exposed. Not these gentlemen.

New to BJJ? Start at ROLLSTAR Jiu Jitsu Academy

ROLLSTAR Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 ROLLSTAR 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.

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.
