From the reviews
I originally signed up for a class at Rollstar Jiu-Jitsu last summer. I went into the school a bit nervous that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was not a sport that I should try attempting as this was my first real attempt at a combat sport.
Rollstar BJJ is a wonderful environment for kids and adults. Coach Diego is a wonderful coach who teaches kids not only BJJ moves but life skills. He is extremely patient and kind. The new facility also has great amenities.
I have been bringing my kids here for years to train, and I can confidently say that ROLLSTAR Jiu Jitsu is a nurturing and effective martial arts academy. Professor Diego and Coach Fred, are not only incredibly skilled but also remarkably kind and gentle in their approach.
Honest review here. I am part of the adult program and my son is actually part of the kids program. In conclusion, this is a great organized academy to commit yourself too, it is definitely fair in terms of cost, filled with a lot of individuals who are easy to get a long with, great teachers, a good amount of space,…
New to BJJ? Start at ROLLSTAR Jiu Jitsu (HQ)
ROLLSTAR Jiu Jitsu (HQ) 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 (HQ)
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.
