Our 7 year old twin boys have been going to Rogers Jiu Jitsu Academy for a year and a half, and they absolutely love it. They’ve made so much progress with the help of their teachers, Aaron and George, who are always incredibly supportive and professional. We also love the newly refurbished training area, which creates such a safe and friendly environment for the kids. If you think your little ones might be interested, I’d definitely recommend going for a trial session. I can almost guarantee you'll be going back.
I've been training here with my son for nearly three years, and it has been one of the best things we've ever done together. We've both had an amazing experience from day one! The kids' programme has had a hugely positive impact on my son, helping him build confidence, discipline, resilience, and respect, while also giving him a real sense of achievement and belonging. Having taken my son to several different gyms and competitions across the country, it's clear to see the high standard of coaching that Aaron provides. His coaching stands up against the very best in the UK. I can't recommend this academy highly enough. Whether you're looking for a great activity for your child, want to start your own jiu-jitsu journey, or both, this is an incredible place to train.
As a Brazilian who trained Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil, I know what high-level Jiu-Jitsu looks like. That’s why I can confidently say that Rogers is every bit as good as the academies I trained at back home. The coaching is exceptional. The instructor is highly technical, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve, regardless of experience. The classes are well-structured, challenging, and always enjoyable. The academy is spotless, well-organised, and has a fantastic atmosphere. Everyone is respectful, welcoming, and pushes each other to get better. From the quality of the instruction to the professionalism and sense of community, everything is first class. If you’re looking for a place to learn real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a friendly and professional environment, I couldn’t recommend Rogers more. Five stars, without a doubt.
Best bjj in the county! So glad to be apart of the community 🤙
When I joined the club 4/5 years ago I was a little bit out of my comfort zone starting Jiu Jitsu as I’m a bit older and kept thinking am I too old to start a new martial art, I’ve been in and around different martial arts clubs over the years and some are welcoming and some aren’t so much but I have to say that Aaron and shar have been great since I joined and I now feel just like one of the guys now, you get great instruction and great facilities too, plus Aaron has really improved my Jiu Jitsu no end, I would thoroughly recommend 👌
I have been going to RJJA for over 11 years. Started going before I left the military, it has been the best decision I have made by far. It continues to offer a good place to stay fit and build long time friendships, but if you just for the fitness you can’t go wrong. Best is that it’s a family run business, I am proud to support our local peeps and the effort they put in to provide an affordable, clean and honest place. Forgot to say both my children went here and my son continues to enjoy the kids classes coached by George. Thank you Shar, Aaron and George.
I’ve attended Rogers on a number of occasions now, mostly seminars and open mats and interclub competition’s. The atmosphere in the best Jiu Jitsu gym’s is akin to family, where everyone is friendly and supportive, and nobody rolls (spar’s) with the intent of hurting anyone. Roger’s is exactly this, Aaron is polite friendly and welcoming and his Jiu Jitsu knowledge is unquestionable. The mats are clean and very well cared for with member and mat hygiene clearly being a priority. The club offers something for everyone, from kids classes, beginners and comp classes for those looking to compete and open mats where you can practice the techniques taught in a live, fluid and most importantly safe environment. The club also has a a traditional gym upstairs with strength and conditioning equipment. Roger’s are also heavily invested in the local community and offer a monthly open door policy where you can attend, train or just have a brew and chat. If you are in the Gosport area go give them a look, you won’t be disappointed.
Rogers Jiu Jitsu Academy is a great place to train BJJ, whether you are just starting out on your Jiu Jitsu journey or are already involved in Jiu Jitsu. There is a mix of ages and abilities at the club and you are made to feel welcome irrespective of your level or experience. The Academy offers such choice and flexibility in the sessions and timing of sessions offered. Classes are easy to book and the app is a brilliant tool for this. Aaron, the head instructor delivers high level jiu jitsu with a patient and relaxed approach and is supported by a number of high level belts, all of whom are happy to impart knowledge. The friendly and sociable environment is unmistakable as is the quality of the jiu jitsu and the facilities. Highly recommend Rogers Jiu Jitsu Academy.
Such a welcoming and supportive club – my whole family now trains here! They have been absolutely incredible with my children. As a woman starting Jiu-Jitsu, it can feel quite daunting, but I’ve always felt welcomed, included, and supported by everyone. I couldn’t recommend this club highly enough!!
I can't recommend Roger's Jiu Jitsu Academy highly enough. It's a fantastic family-run academy that genuinely puts people first. The coaching is top quality, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the membership offers amazing value for money. Starting a new sport can feel intimidating, especially something like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but Roger's Jiu Jitsu takes away that fear from day one. They provide a relaxed, friendly, and spotless environment where everyone is made to feel welcome, regardless of experience or fitness level. The academy isn't just about learning great technique—it's about building confidence, making friends, and having fun. The values and ethics they promote, both on and off the mats, are second to none and create a real sense of community. If you're thinking about giving Jiu Jitsu a try, there's no better place to start.
Great gym! Very clean and Arron is a really good teacher it was my first bjj session but I will be back.
