The first day walking into the Gym, it feels like family. Despite being brand new, there is humility and care within every rolling session. You can see the passion from Coach Rob and the rest of the Team, and it’s absolutely infectious. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else for breaking into the BJJ world.
After a few months of going here I am completely addicted. This is an incredible place to learn Jui Jitsu and get in great shape! I've lost over 10 pounds in over 3 months that I've been going here. The Coach is amazing but so is everyone else that goes here. It truly is a one of a kind special environment. If you have any interest in joining a great Gym they offer a free trial here that is totally worth it! Come check it out I guarantee you will enjoy training here.
I've have been training Jiu Jitsu with Professor Rob Lagasca since the end of 2013 and directly under him since 2015. He has the ability to provide a curriculum that his students from White Belt to Black Belt can establish, build on and solidify. This is done while also capitalizing on each strengths, working on weaknesses and providing a solid team first and family always environment. I would recommend Lagasca BJJ to anyone who wants to start or continue their Jiu Jitsu journey. Team Octopus 🐙 all the way.
I’ve been coming here for 3 years and Coach Rob has always created a comfortable environment. My entire family (kids, husband, father) trains here and I can say it’s definitely a welcoming place. I had a baby 4 months ago and I feel like because of Coach Rob I can train and not feel like my baby is a distraction.
This gym is awesome !! I've been training here for 2 years and the level of respect for everyone by everyone is amazing to see and feel. No egos here, only friends and family. We welcome all who seek a positive training environment and a will to succeed. Never a dull moment and always moving forward. Its only the beginning of something great !! Trust the process. OSS ... As to the negative review, not exactly sure where this came from, but we've trained together and have never felt a negative vibe from you or your spouse until you decided to leave. Wish you would have been honest and truthful of how you and your husband/boyfriend felt at the time. Other then that, im sure we all know what exactly happened and why your leaving a negative response. I prey for you and your family to find peace and happiness and possibly a gym that suits your needs 🙏 oss/Chama/god bless
Training at Lagasca BJJ has been an incredible experience! The instructors are not only skilled practitioners but also great teachers who take the time to unsure everyone understands and improves. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it easy to learn and grow. The facility is well-maintained, and there's a real sense of camaraderie among students:) I highly recommend Lagasca BJJ!!!
My daughter has been coming to Lagasca Brazilian Jiujitsu for the past 10 months. Coach Rob has always made her feel welcome from day one as she was completely hesitant in even wanting to try the class. Since then she literally goes to class almost 5 days a week as she really enjoys the positive environment and the valuable skills that Coach Rob teaches his kids. I really value what Coach Rob has taught her. Before my daughter started she had really low self confidence. Since joining her self confidence has improved significantly and has a growth mind set. My daughter has also competed in 4 tournaments and Coach Rob was always there by her side. She has won all gold and one silver ( controversial) which tells you not only his skill level but how effective he is when it comes teaching the kids the sport. In fact, most of his kids usually all do very well and take home Gold. He genuinely cares about all his kids and makes it very easy for the kids to learn each move to where they understand and apply the moves. We are completely happy and thankful that we were recommended to train with Coach Rob. I would definitely recommend Coach Rob for some awesome training.
I had such a lovely open mat session here coming from out of town. The coach was really responsive and approachable and has created a great culture in his gym. You can really see how passionate he is about the sport. I am always a little nervous about going to new gyms, but the whole team was really friendly and showed me a lot of new things. Almost everyone had higher belts, and all had zero ego. Great place to train, I am definitely coming back, and also super convenient they are open Sundays too.
Visited from out of town and had a wonderful experience. Coach Lagasca has created a very welcoming environment and I learned a lot from my one visit. Would recommend to anyone visiting Vegas who is looking for a unique and personable BJJ experience.
Professor Lagasca and Carl Micheal were amazing and approachable!
Great place for adults to train at... and an even greater place for kids. Coach Rob does an amazing job with the kids and teens that attend his classes. He genuinely cares about each child and is willing to teach them as long as they show respect and discipline. Don't hesitate to have your children attend. They will be in a very safe and friendly environment.
Great Professor and BJJ community. Popped in to train for Masters Worlds and JiuJitsu Con twice. Multiple black belts and higher level belts training. The atmosphere was very clean and professional. Will return! Oss
Great training! Let me drop in while visiting for tournament. Very professional and friendly environment.
While I was out in Vegas eating a ton and having a blast with old friends, my body was craving some BJJ. I checked out Lagasca BJJ since it was close by my hotel on the strip. I met Professor Robert and I was very impressed with how he taught class. He incorporated his a sense of humor which made it easy to remember complex BJJ techniques. I learned a lot, had a lot fun rolling, and I found an excellent teacher of BJJ. Whether a person is a newbie or a black belt, Lagasca BJJ is a great place to practice!!!
I was able to drop in during a work trip and have nothing but great things to say. It was a great experience. Quality, personalized instruction, and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone made me feel at home and the training was awesome.
Best place in the valley to train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu! Coach Rob's teaching method is very simple yet effective.
I have a tournament coming up, so while in Vegas for a work event I knew I wanted to get some training in. I came across Lagasca BJJ and reached out to Coach Robert through instagram, and I’m so glad I did. As soon as I walked his students started greeting and introducing themselves to me and I immediately felt welcomed. Coach Robert provided solid instruction, and I learned a lot from his students as well. I look forward to coming back whenever I’m in town, thank you Lagasca BJJ!
I was visiting Las Vegas, and connected with Professor Rob about training while I was in town. I am so glad I did! Professor Rob has such a great philosophy and approach to BJJ. His technique is precise and methodical. He build such a sense of community and engagement. When I’m back in Las Vegas, I look forward to training with him again. Mahalo, from one BJJ black belt to another, professor! Marcelo Corpuz
I’ve been all around the world and I have yet to meet a man as dignified and kind as Robert Lagasca. His teaching ability is unparalleled and allows anyone that wants to train Jiujitsu an amazing opportunity to learn and improve at an accelerated rate. It feels like a private lesson every time you train with Rob! Highly recommended to all.
I’ve been training with Coach Rob since late 2019 and can attest to his expertise in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Coach Rob has been nothing but kind, patient and understanding. Rob is an excellent teacher who really takes the time to understand each of his students strengths and weaknesses. Coach Rob is solid and one of the most loyal people I know. If you’re looking for a family oriented vibe in a gym then this the one! 🤙🏽
I'm visiting from out of town. I came across Lagasca BJJ and decided to reach out to see if I could join classes while I'm in Vegas. Coach Rob was quick to respond to me and was very professional in his communication. I was blown away by how welcoming the team was during my first class. No egos, no one tried to prove they were top dog. Just a bunch of humble people there to learn and work their craft. Coach breaks down technique in a way that everyone can understand. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area and looking for REAL people to roll with. Every time i'm in Vegas I will be stopping by to get my reps in. OSS!
Great gym, great gym culture, great instructor. Was in town visiting, so I thought I would stop in and roll. Everyone treated me like I had trained there for years. I would recommend this gym to anyone visiting or living in the Las Vegas area. Next time I'm in Vegas I'm coming back to train here!
I used to look for a BJJ school with an instructor who cares about the student and not the dollar. I've trained with Rob Lagasca for close to 3 years now. When I started, he didn't pressure me to stay, purchase merchandise, or post reviews. He was only concerned that I felt incorporated within the team. Lagasca is about cultivating a family team. When students aren't attending as often, he reaches out. There are many group events throughout the year as well. The new Lagasca school is now full of loyal students drawn by a culture of love, respect, and, of course, the BJJ.
Professor Rob is an excellent instructor, I joined his team as a black belt and he has helped my Brazilian Jiujitsu tremendously. We have a great team from beginner to advanced, hobbyist to competitive.
My son started training with Professor Rob about 2.5 years ago at the recommendation of a friend. At first he didn’t want to go, but that quickly changed. Now he is constantly asking if he “gets to go to jiu jitsu today”. Professor Rob has created an environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while at the same time being pushed towards growth. As my son continued to go I became more intrigued. I had zero grappling experience of any kind but after watching some of the kids classes I decided to give it a try. Rob has created a culture where everyone gets exactly what they need. Being the new guy in the group I felt perfectly comfortable and immediately welcomed by everyone. Now two years later I guess TeamOctopus is stuck with me.
I joined Lagasca BJJ in January 2019. I can truly say this is one of the greatest environments I've ever been in while living in Vegas. Professor Rob Lagasca is a kind, generous, and patient man. I leave Vegas in a few weeks and it saddens me that I probably won't find another gym like this one. Over the past two and a half years the other members in the gym have become family to me. This gym is small but mighty and tight-knit. The size of gym has allowed us to plan events such as bowling, paintball, and fun days in the park. Although everyone is kind, we are aggressive on the mats and it shows as we continue to win team awards at tournaments, and at all levels we represent our belts. To receive a strip or belt from Professor Rob means that you have grown in the sport and in life. Lagasca BJJ is also known by its members as "Team Octopus" for two reasons. One, when Professor Rob is on the mat he rolls like an Octopus, teaching us how to use all of our limbs to our advantage to wrap up our opponents. Two, the gym is filled with many disciplined and loving people who are all always willing to lend you a hand in your learning--making one feel surrounded and uplifted. This gym is also great for kids! I've seen medals weighing down our young ones as the scurry to get post-tournament food. If you want to learn BJJ and become a better human-being while doing so, this is where you want to be. Oss! (You'll find out what that means, once you arrive).
Been training with Professor Rob for about 4 years now. He puts his heart and soul into teaching Jiu Jitsu. He wants the best for all his students. No egos at this gym. Everyone here treats you like family, doesn’t matter if you just started or been there for years. No politics just Jiu Jitsu!
Lagasca Jiu Jitsu, and Professor Rob have helped shape my son into a well rounded boy. He is confident in his ability to protect himself, and respectful to people around. An added bonus is the exercise and fitness gaines from training. Highly recommend.
Professor Rob Lagasca is a Master in Jiu Jitsu and lucky individuals like you and me can train with him. From beginners to pro athletes, from youth to over 50, male or female..His quality of coaching and attention to detail makes all individuals abilities to better themselves on the mat and in their life. Best coaching I've ever had- grateful. As a team he creates a diverse skilled family from around the world.
Coach is really knows how to teach us the art of jiujitsu in a good way he make sures we train hard so we make it somewhere someday overall Coach is funny and makes kids have discipline. We love you rob.
Coach Rob is the cream of the crop. Extremely friendly environment. Everyone treats each other like family. Top quality jiu jitsu for a very fair price.
I’ve been training with Coach Rob for 9 months & my love for Jiu Jitsu continues to grow! He is great at what he does & the way he teaches makes it entertaining for both kids and adults. Can’t rave about this school enough… I highly recommend checking it out!
Robert Lagasca is one of the best coaches in the valley. Positive environment and great people to roll with.
My daughter has been training with coach Rob since 2017 and she really enjoys the training she gets from kids jujitsu. Coach Rob is very attentive to what the kids need in training. He loves what he does and you can see it through the training he provides. I highly recommend him for any kids jujitsu classes or adult classes.
Been training with Professor Rob for about 2 yrs And got nothing but good things to say about him and his technique. If your looking for a great way to get in shape/ learn self defense/get your kids involved in a healthy life style and build confidence and character or if your already train jiu jitsu it’s an awesome group of people and a great place to call home nothing short of quality training and good vibes OSS 🤙🏽💪🏽
Small gym with big egos. Coach talks too much and makes inappropriate jokes. No structure to the class. Don’t waste your money.
