From the reviews
I have been in the martial arts for over 20 years. I personally train here 1 to 2 times a year to simply further my own martial arts skill and knowledge. I enjoyed the information the Duke, Coach Cush, Professor Wanderley, and Coach Nicols give to their students and classes so much that I became not only a Roufusport…
I joined the gym a year ago. It has felt like a new home for me, everyone is extremely welcoming of all levels. I had never done any physical sports before and I was able to learn under great coaches and now that I have done some of the basics I now work with the intermediate people and everyone is just as caring and…
My 10 year old son has trained here for just under a year. He started out new to it all and has quickly gained more confidence and made friends with a ton of kids on the fight team. The coaches are amazing, they truly care about their fighters/students.
I joined Roufusport about a little over 2 years and fell in love immediately. From the world class instructors, Training partners, and friendships made. I feel part of the family. Roufusport makes it available for all types of people can come in and train.
New to BJJ? Start at Roufusport MMA Milwaukee Mixed Martial Arts Kickboxing Muay Thai Jiu Jitsu BJJ Boxing Fitness Gym Kids Adults Ages 6+
Roufusport MMA Milwaukee Mixed Martial Arts Kickboxing Muay Thai Jiu Jitsu BJJ Boxing Fitness Gym Kids Adults Ages 6+ 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 Roufusport MMA Milwaukee Mixed Martial Arts Kickboxing Muay Thai Jiu Jitsu BJJ Boxing Fitness Gym Kids Adults Ages 6+
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.
