Our experience with Ares BJJ has been incredible! Our daughter started going to Jiu Jitsu a year ago when she was 6 years old. She started in their Tiny Titans program for 4 - 6 year old students and has progressed to the Titans for 7-11 year old students. The instructors are very kind and knowledgeable, and help each student learn the different techniques. It is clear that they care about all students at all levels. Ares is also a great environment with nice students and families who help families that are new to the sport learn the basics. Having a daughter, it's great that about half the instructors and students are female. My daughter has been encouraged all along the way, and we appreciate all the support she has been given. Our daughter isn't naturally very physical or competitive, but through jiu jitsu she has grown more confident in her body and built a lot of strength through the different exercises. She is very proud of the skills that she has learned and she proudly said, "I've built muscles that I wouldn't have in other sports". We highly recommend Ares BJJ.

5-Star Review for Ares BJJ My kids (8 and 5) have been training at Ares BJJ for a few years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My daughter started right before she turned 6, and my son just before he turned 4. From day one, I made it clear to the instructors that I believe in promotions based on merit and production, not participation. I asked them to push my kids within reason, and they have honored that request completely. The instructors challenge my kids while keeping it fun, creating an environment where they can grow, fail, learn, and improve. My daughter recently earned her grey with a white stripe (in the coolest way I’ve ever seen), and my son has his white belt with three red and one white stripe—all through hard work and dedication. Beyond the training, Ares BJJ has been a great community for them, with friendships forming on and off the mats. Communication with the instructors and staff has been effortless. Any questions or concerns we’ve had over the years have been handled with professionalism and care. From the quality of instruction to the positive culture they foster, Ares BJJ has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a school that values real progression, discipline, and a supportive environment, this is the place.

One of the best schools around to train jiu jitsu! Staff is very welcoming, knowledgeable and skilled. Curriculum caters to those with no prior experience all the way up to experienced competitors. Check them out and you'll see - I've made some great friends for life here!

I’ve been training at Ares for 5 years. The instructors and staff are top level. From beginner to competition grapplers, they have instructors to cater to your growth and goals. With over 20 black belts, this school has a lot of body types and styles in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to suit your needs. Try their one week free; you won’t regret it! Great women instructors and students too.

I can’t say enough good things about the instructors and the practitioners training there. I was immediately welcomed and they showed tremendous hospitality. 10/10 I’d train with the Zombie Crew if I lived in the area! Thanks again - HMU when in Anchorage ;)

Exceptional facility with exceptional people. This school is one of the few in the area that truly exhibits the spirit and mentality of Jiu-Jitsu.

During my week-long stay in the area, I had the opportunity to drop in for a training session at this BJJ gym. The instructor for the day, Manny, delivered exceptionally high-level instruction with a focus on detailed techniques. He made a point to visit each participant, offering personalized corrections and guidance on form and technique. Manny's approach was remarkably patient, breaking down complex moves into easily understandable steps. His demeanor was both cool and humble, and he generously waived the drop-in fee for me. The gym boasts a roster of skilled and humble practitioners, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. This stands out as one of the premier gyms I've visited, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area seeking top-notch BJJ training.

Been training here for 5 months. So far I’ve had a great experience. They have several different classes throughout the week so you’ll definitely find something that works with your schedule, there’s kids classes, women’s classes, gi and no gi. Everyone I’ve rolled with has been willing to give feedback or teach me something. There’s several black belts and colored belts so you’re getting a mix of perspectives. This sport isn’t one size fits all and this gym is perfect for that. There’s several instructors so you’ll find one that fits your learning or grappling style.

The gym has a very laid back atmosphere and I trained with some upper belts who were very technical and competitive, but also welcoming and safe. These are all fantastic attributes of a great learning and training environment.

This is a super welcoming community and a great place for all levels to come train. My parents live in Roseville, and I come to visit them a few times each year. I started training jiu-jitsu about a year ago, and didn't want to miss a week for training. I stopped in and was immediately welcomed by a few other people. Then a higher-level belt came up and offered to partner with me during the drills. When it came time to grapple, I had no difficulty finding someone to roll with on my first night. I've had bad experiences with other gyms in the past, but this one made up for a lot of them. Excited to come back and train here again over the holidays!

It's a very mellow and wholesome vibe. Not a lot of formalities, and everyone was there to have fun and/or learn - not super competitive. I highly recommend it.

I've been fortunate to train at quite a few gyms throughout CA over the years, and am very happy I've ended up with Ares as my home gym. Here's what I look for in a gym and how I think they stack up: Clean/safe - yes friendly atmosphere - very welcoming, popular kids and women's classes as well gi and no gi - yes weird uniform requirements - nope, wear whatever color gi you want, just have good hygiene encourages cross training - yup, plenty of regular visitors from other schools encourages competition - yes, even if comp isn't your thing, I always think it's good to see that the instructors believe in the students and what they're learning. high level BJJ - yes, very skilled instructors and plenty of high level students high level teaching - yes well rounded grappling - yes, definitely not limited to one style, everything from old school bjj to modern inversions and leglocks. Class availability - great, classes at all times of the day price - standard Hope this helps anyone looking to train!

Didn’t ever think I’d get into Jiu Jitsu. Wrestled for four years and thought that’s all I wanted to do is just wrestle. But my Dad and brother started doing Jiu Jitsu and then I decided why not just try it. So far I’m really into it, even way more than wrestling. The instructors are great people and easy to talk to. You’ll make many friends there and even a new family I’m sure of it! You’ll regret not coming here and not being part of this great community and life changing sport!

I have to say, I'm not a sporty kind of mom in the traditional sense. Although, I did play some volleyball in high school and took a lap swimming course in college, I was not prepared for this type of contact sport.. It wasn't until all 3 of my kids came to me asking to join something..oh heck, they’d try anything, that was when I realized that they were more than curious. They were serious and determined to try their fate at anything just to say they had DONE IT! They were ready to commit and so I asked them one by one, what sport did they want to try out for? I heard one say "Soccer!" Another said, "Volleyball!" And the littlest said "Karate". As summer approached, they had their hopes up to start their selected sport. I had to keep my word to let them try something. As I searched for karate schools I came across a Jiu Jitsu Academy not far from home. I messaged the contact online and I received a prompt reply by someone by the name of Julio. Yes, my message to Ares BJJ of Rocklin - Jiu Jitsu Academy, was the kind of message that only a desperate mom would send (such as I felt), when asking for help with starting 3 kids in a program and also I needed to start them THAT day! I know.. it’s crazy right?!? Well..it's paid off. Kids are happy, healthy and committed. Here's where they start to shine..Julio patiently listened to what I wanted to do and gave me all the important details. I felt like we mattered. We started the boys that day and 2 weeks later, my daughter joined. At first she was unsure but soon she was curious about all the chatter from her brothers. Probably due to all the good things she heard from her brothers. She was a little unsure if she would fit in and what the whole BJJ culture was truly all about, but after the first class she realized that it was going to be even better for her if she hung around for awhile training in Jiu-Jitsu. After 2 months of training at Ares BJJ of Rocklin, I am so thankful that we found something that all three of my kiddos love and enjoy. It makes THIS mom really proud to be able to help my kids find something that is both challenging and nurturing for their growth as a human being. All the while, gaining strength and resilience and having a ton of fun training along the way. They look forward to it and all say that they need to go. They get excited and aware of the days and times that they have practice. Honestly, I'm so glad I started them NOW. If I had known what BJJ was about as a kid, I think I'd have committed to the practice. As energetic and tough competitors, Manny and Dorothy are 2 truly dedicated and humble practitioners who are synergistic and collaborative when it comes to teaching others their craft. You will agree that your child(ren) will have gained a great deal of nurturing from them to build strong and confident minds in our children. The adult classes are also amazing as my daughter is taking the fundamentals class for beginners. She is much bigger than the other kids and prefers to be challenged. Jean and Julio both teach the class on separate days but have been so accommodating to our family and consistent in their approaches. Since joining, I've been so impressed by the way they run their programs. All instructors are there because they have a passion for BJJ. They impart their knowledge on the students and are thoughtful in their words and in their approach. To their credit, when all of the parents, kids, and adult students have nothing but positive things to say of Ares BJJ Rocklin - Jiu-Jitsu Academy, WHY wouldn't YOU TRY it? I'm next! 🤞 They don't disappoint! #AresBJJofRocklin #bestofthebest #unity #trust #community #caring

There’s a reason they only have 5 stars on their reviews! It may seem too good to be true, but it’s true. I read a bunch a reviews and honestly if you go, you’ll probably be writing the same thing because they deserve it. High level instructors, great atmosphere, people, and very clean gym. Doesn’t matter, who you are, what level, or how much experience you have. You need to go and experience for yourself. Definitely my gym to go to now when I’m in town. Rare to find a place that does both Gi and No Gi. And they have more than one class a day! Pretty hard to find a gym like this!

I have been training at Ares since 2018 and since the first day I came in as a newb the owners and instructors have been professional and treated me with respect. There is great leadership at this school. When something is right they keep it going and if something is wrong they fix it. You can see how the whole team respects each other because of the culture they have created there. If you have never trained before and are hesitant, make the leap and come by and learn the power of OSS!!! If you have had a bad experience at another gym, Ares is different.

Warm and welcoming everyone is treated as family. My kids were able to have a free one time session to see if they enjoyed it which they did. Instructors took their time to help ones that weren’t understanding or who have fallen a little behind. Clean.... they take sanitizing and keeping everyone safe to the fullest. This school is both amazing and fun for the whole family. Plus they have guest instructors to keep everyone on their feet. I would definitely recommend Ares Brazilian jiu jitsu. Amazing school for the family or yourself to also learn self defense and to keep safe in any situation.

Love Ares Jiu- Jitsu! My 4 year old, rough and tumble boy needed an outlet to be himself but needed the discipline that Martial arts brings. He was bored with Gymnastics, bouncing off the walls at home and needed something more. He has been here for a year now and it has been the best thing for him. The instructors are amazing. When he started hitting at home they checked in with him at each class and let him know that behavior was not acceptable. They helped him control his behavior and encouraged him to use that aggression on the mat in an appropriate way. We love the environment here. My daughter started wrestling but there were hardly any girls in class so switching her to Ares was so helpful in giving her that physical contact with lots of girls her age as well. We love the friends and the community here. It is a very family friendly place as my husband trains and takes the kids to his class and all the kids waiting for their parents play together.

Compared to many of the local BJJ gyms, this is a no-brainer: * the space is clean and tidy (no dust and random clutter!) * the business is very professionally run by a team of passionate owners * modern, effective world-class techniques (esp important if you want to compete at all); the devil is in the details of each technique! * the owners spared no expense to keep everything up-to-date * the instructors are attentive during class, friendly and always ready to provide constructive input for improvements * the owners take feedback seriously and always follow through based on practicality and feasibility; responses are always direct and honest (as opposed to, "that sounds good... we'll see...") * for those who care, the A/C is on in the summer... not all BJJ gyms do this! * systematic and organized class material * if you're evaluating for your kids, I can't stress how important it is to have good instructions early on to build a strong foundation! Sloppy techniques lead to sloppy habit which will be hard to correct later!

Let me tell you a little something about training at Ares BJJ Roseville, not only do you get THE best instruction, and coaching from the Professors, everyone that you meet and train with, becomes part of a giant extended family. When I show up at Ares, I’m instantly home away from home, and to be honest, there are times where I’d rather be training at Ares, then being at home. Nothing but smiles, camaraderie, and some seriously bad a$$ jiujitsu. I’d guarantee if you come in with an open mind, you'll find yourself returning, and making Ares your new home away from home as well.

My home away from home. What ever Jiujitsu journey you’re on - the people at Ares are 100% supportive. Pros: -Instructors will spend an hour + going over techniques and drilling. They will often do situational rolls to help you be more comfortable with the technique before free rolls. -Safety is a huge priority for the coaches, and will have upper belts work with lower belt on techniques. -If you’re new and small (like myself) the coaches will have you work with someone close to your size. Until you find your favorite partners to drill with. -Very family oriented. The parents often train as well as the kids. -Has BOTH no Gi and Gi. EVERY WEEK (main reason I checked out the school in the first place) -Everyone has open communication on what they are looking for in a roll. Some days I go there wanting to work until I’m exhausted, and other days I’ll let a partner know to put me in the same position so I can work on an escape. - noon classes are lab classes - want to really dive in to a technique? Take a lunch break and get your mind blown. Cons: - I have to work to pay bills so I can’t train multiple times a days, everyday..... ugh. Seriously, come check us out! You’ll find what you’re looking for in a Jiujitsu school AND you’ll have fun. :)

Although I have only trained a handful of times at Ares, I have been blown away by this school. The family friendly atmosphere will make you feel welcome and the top notch instruction will take you to the next level. My girlfriend attends classes here as well and has trained BJJ for a long time. She has been empowered by what a positive atmosphere it has. The community at Ares is second to none, it feels like a being part of family and is a perfect place to send your kids to train. In other words Ares has something for everyone. Also I'm always impressed by how many black belts are around this school helping lower belts at open matt or in class. At Ares they really put a lot of energy into improving your game.

I've been training for a few years now and I wouldn't call anywhere else home. Great trainers, great training partners and zero ego. The thing I like the most about ARES is that it's part of an affiliation with schools all over the world. You can train casual or for fun but if you want to compete in tournaments, you have some of the best tournament champions in the world at your disposal.

Ares BJJ Roseville is more than just another gym, it's truly a family. Everyone there is welcoming and friendly to anyone they meet, long time members and new students alike. Just being in there you feel the positive energy and vibes flow. The staff and instructors are knowledgeable, world class instructors with a circulating curriculum that gives you all the tools and instruction to properly grow in the sport. The place is clean, everyone works hard together on the mats and laugh together even harder. There is a massive amount of respect and integrity shown by everybody, students and instructors alike. I can't recommend this place highly enough. In my 15 or so years of Jiu-Jitsu I have to say it's the best place I have trained yet. My social anxiety disappears completely as soon as I walk in the door, it feels like walking into a second home.

I have cross trained at Ares since I was a blue belt and they have always treated me like family while visiting. The training is top notch with so much attention to detail. More importantly they give back to the community and support any event they can. I’m happy to now call this amazing gym my home!

I’ve been to many Jiu Jitsu academies and have never felt more at home than I do here. I haven’t been here for long and already feel like I’m making more progress in a few months than I have in my 4 previous years of training combined.

I began here as a 35 year old who wanted to do something physical and participate in a sport with my kids. I was initially worried about fitting in to a gym with a lot of bada** BJJ practitioners, but this gym isn't a normal gym at all. It's an incredibly welcoming community, and I felt like I was at home the second Professor Julio handed my my rental gi for the first class. That's the best part about this experience so far. The members genuinely want to see everyone improve, and Professor Manny, Professor Julio, Professor Chuy, Professor Bill, Professor Ben have been nothing short of amazing. There are also amazing teachers for the kids classes (John and Michelle) on Saturdays. On the kids class front, my daughter is 5 years old and does the Tiny Titans (4-7 age group) with Professor Manny, and it's had a profound and immediate impact on her. We now get to learn a new sport together, share a new bond, and Manny has been at the center of helping her grow in many ways. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Show up, be embraced by the community, get addicted to the sport, and you'll be here for life.

This place is awesome! The gym is clean, well ventilated and has lots of space. The instructors there are very knowledgeable, patient and kind. They take their time to teach a move and come around to give personal instruction to make sure you got it down. We then went into rolls where everyone pushed you to your limits but in a safe and controlled manner. The best thing about this gym though is the showers. Now, you have no excuse not to hit an early morning class, shower and then get to work. 10/10 would come again. Thank you so much Professor Manny for the the incredible class.

Ares has been the biggest blessing in my life this year. I’ve been officially training at Ares Roseville since November 2019. However I’ve known the owners for years and they’ve all been consistently good, honest people. This school caters to everyone from children’s classes, to women’s self defense, to people who train for fun/exercise, to high level competitive athletes. Whatever your jiu jitsu goals are Ares Roseville is the best place to achieve them. I’m so thankful for the authenticity and support I have experienced here. It’s not just a place to train, it is a family and truly my home away from home.

Amazing people and such a welcoming environment. For someone that has explored many jiu jitsu places around the world. This had the be the most comfortable more challenging schools I’ve been to. Great upper belts with good knowledge. Manny and Julio representing the school well. Willing to sit and teach with in the roll which I value. Also genuine humans no ego. Speaks volumes to the School and the students that reflect the school

I always have a great experience every time I stop by Ares BJJ. The family environment makes it easy to drop in and train. The instructors are legit black belts and very nice guys. If you live in the area and want to compete or train for fun this is a great place to start

Amazing experience with the staff and members. I just started 3 weeks ago and the instructors are always by my side guiding me through making sure I don't fall behind. Everyone is super respectful and always ready to lend a hand for help. My first week was free, you just walk in, they give you a Gi to borrow and you start learning.

So I just want to comment on how welcoming this gym is. I am pretty shy on going into jiu jitsu gyms because usually there’s just too many guys, but with the pulling and tugging from my friend I finally gave it a shot. I was horrible, but they were very patient with me. I also found out there’s a girls class for free, at least for now. I want to say it’s to attract more females to the sport or they were doing a special. Either way, I love it. I happened to drop in during the kids class and the instructor was so great with them. I spoke to some parents watching on the side and they also love the kids class. I used to work for a summer camp and having parents around was never idle, but this place welcomes the parents and even encourage them to stick around. I recommend it to my friend with three kids. Two of them already signed up. The third one is too young. Their boy was a shy kid and didn’t like to have any physical contact with outside people, but now he is so much more relax and I can see so much more confidence when I go out with them. I don’t know if it’s nature of the sport or this facility has an amazing culture, but a definite 5 stars for this location. Very clean, very encouraging, great instructors, their students are nice, can feel their passion for the sport. Excellent.

Ares bjj has a great atmosphere for adults and kids. Not only are all the instructors knowledgeable and welcoming but so are all the other training partners.

My daughter was choked by a boy during class. They have very few instructors for the number of kids, so the instructor didn’t see it. They didn’t do anything when I told them about it, and didn’t seem to care about what happened to her. Then I wrote them an email cancelling our recurring payment and wrote why. They never wrote back and continued charging month after month. I only got them to stop charging us when I disputed it via my credit card company.

I don’t enjoy leaving negative reviews but I also don’t know how to get in touch with the owner, or anyone in charge of this gym. On Monday I signed my son up for a free week trial on the website. I chose a class for today, and signed the waivers online. We followed all the instructions and showed up today 15 minutes early. I walked to the desk and waited with my son for a few minutes but nobody came up to us. I spoke to someone in a Gi standing nearby and said my son was here for a free trial. He responded with ‘oh!’ and was clearly not the person I should be talking to, so I thought maybe I should check my son in on the iPad on the desk and then waited a few more minutes, but nobody on the floor came and talked to us. So my son suggested we wait on the couch, and we sat and waited. When his class was supposed to start, the class on the floor didn’t stop and nothing in the gym changed. We were still being ignored fifteen minutes past when his trial class should have started. It just got uncomfortable and awkward so we left. We will obviously be going to try a different gym now, but I just hope a manager or owner reads this and hopefully can prevent this from happening to someone else in the future. It was very disappointing.

My kid got his back injured cause they arranged a fight with another teenager twice the size that is special needs and was known to be aggressive, instructors nowhere close to supervise until it was too late and now we have long ways to go for recovery…we left and aren’t coming back They have too many kids at the same time and very few instructors at the time…you’d think that with how expensive the fees are that they could add more instructors…and the kids class is more of them running around with games than actually being thought something…disappointed.
