This was my first bjj gym and it genuinely skyrocketed my progress, if you take Jesse’s class seriously 2-3 months of work can beat someones year. I questioned myself until I rolled at other gyms and realized Jesse is beyond legit and a unicorn, I made the transition to mma early and this gym only does grappling but I seriously feel like I’m missing out on something when I’m not there.
Posted 1 year agoThis gym/academy is incredibly welcoming, inviting and well maintained. The staff and students are of a high caliber, both as people and practitioners. I say this as someone who suffers from social anxiety and generally feels uneasy and awkward in any new situation, let alone situations involving combat. Rough Hands has offered me a safe haven to comfortably and competently train BJJ without pressure or anxiousness while simultaneously pushing me to push myself. I can’t say enough good things about this establishment and those who own, operate and attend.
Posted 1 year agoI was in town for a few days and stopped by for a no-gi BJJ class. The instructor, Jesse, was extremely helpful and technical while answering all questions I had. I come from another MMA focused gym and he was happy to discuss the differences for positions between the sports. Overall, I’d highly recommend this gym and will be stopping by every time I’m in the area. Thanks Jesse and team!
Posted 1 year agoJapanese ju jutsu hear is good and learn good techniques and very clean gym and mats are cleaned after every class.only think I will say about the Japanese ju jutsu in general is you can some times do the same stuff and get bored with it.its good for no gi judo plus it's a safe look out place and handy its near a subway and two different ways for parking.
Posted 1 year agoGreat place to train sport, practice at art, and think street BJJ. Great coaches, train without injury, and keep it strategically playful. Check out some of the video resources on the RH YouTube channel.
