Truly an extraordinary experience! I came to them broken and out of shape and in a few months I was doing things in my late 40's that I haven't done since my early 20's. The environment is supportive encouraging, reassuring, uplifting, engaging, and positive. Because of the coaches and the upper belts believing in me and pushing me to stay consistent I am able to achieve things I never thought possible. This gym has had such a profound impact on me that I encouraged my wife and kids to join as well. We now settle our family problems on the mat :,)

2 years ago, my husband approached me again regarding putting our autistic son in martial arts. For years he would lightly bring it up and I was adamantly against it. For whatever reason, I decided to be "somewhat OK" with signing him up, but I knew there was only ONE coach in this entire metroplex that I trust with my son and that's - Joao Somalia (owner of Rockstar Martial Arts North McKinney and North Prosper). He was more than HIGHLY recommended by close friends who have had kids that have trained with him for close to a decade. My friends both knew our son and knew what he'd need to be successful. There are 2 Rockstar locations that are closer to our house, but we drive for Somalia & Tayla. If you are in the McKinney or Prosper area and are looking for a martial arts gym for your child - give them a try.

RockStar Martial Arts in North McKinney is Nothing short of Amazing. Coach Somalia and Coach Tayla pour much more than their knowledge of jiu-jitsu into their students; they provide their students with support, encouragement, and life long lessons. Each class my children have learned both skills on and off the mat. They are learning how to make better decisions in their personal lives to live to the highest level of integrity along with learning to grow stronger on the mat each day. I am so glad that we decided to join the RockStar family. We would never go anywhere else. I highly recommend giving your child the opportunity to learn and grow with the best possible support team that you can give them.

Since the first day at Rockstar with Coach Somalia I knew it was going to be a lifetime thing. Coach Somalia just brings happiness, smiles, and comfort at the gym. He will push you to your limits and might get a little upset, but he does it because he loves you. I started when I was about 7 years old, and was already being pushed to my limit of success, but that never stopped me. Now I’m a yellow belt training with the adults. I still love joking around and making people laugh, but I still train to make a difference. Just about a year ago I knew I wanted to start teaching the little Rocksters and kids, so I talked to Coach Somalia about it he agreed that it would be a good idea. I can be having a bad day, and just hearing the little ones saying “Coach MaKenna can you help me”? it just brightens my day. You can tell there is more than just BJJ training there; it’s a family. Coach Tayla started to get me into the office manager stuff, and just going to say it i’m 100% better on the mat. Coach Tayla is like a sister to me, and is always there to help. When Coach Tayla and I are teaching she brings a different energy to the class. It’s the part where they both have the “power” to make up smile. All in all, Rockstar North Mckinney is an amazing gym, and I always can’t wait to be there to see everyone.

We love Rockstar! Coach Tayla and Coach Somalia are the absolute best! My son would rather be at jujitsu than anywhere else. He has learned so much and has a great time. Coach Somalia is very encouraging and pushes them to be their best. My son even wanted to write his own review! Here’s my son’s take on Rockstar: Looking for a martial arts place? This is the one! As a student I have really enjoyed my classes at Rockstar Martial Arts. I have also learned a lot from Coach Somalia and Coach Tayla. They are great leaders and kind. If you are looking for a martial arts place I would highly recommend it! From, Caleb (a very happy student)

When she has her off days, the coaches are nothing but patient with her and encouraging regardless of how much she is willing to participate on those days. So grateful for these coaches and this studio. She has so much self confidence and loves showing off her skills, especially the arm bar. Thank you coaches for being amazing.

Whether you're a beginner or a pro, child or adult, Rockstar MA is the ideal gym for your training. Rockstar does an admirable job of calibrating the training to get the most out of each athlete all with an enjoyable spirit. RMA truly meets you where you're at while equally challenging you to advance to the next level. Coach Somalia embodies everything you would hope for out of coach- he is patient, clear, motivating, and inspiring... not to mention to being an unparalleled subject matter expert in his own right. I would highly recommend RMA if you're curious about martial arts/BJJ!

Not only will you learn from a great champion, but you as an individual will grow in all aspects of your life. Jiu Jitsu is a journey, and no matter how old you are Coach has an inspiring way of inculcating hard work, discipline and strength into your life. I am honored to know the man and the Professor. 5 stars- easily. Pra quem tem fé, a vida nunca tem fim. Christopher Weiss, MD.

The coaches, atmosphere, quality of classes, and people have impacted me and my 3 kids in a more profound way than I ever could've imagined. I have enjoyed the challenge, technique, and intensity of adult classes while my kids are welcomed in the environment Coach Somalia and Tayla create here. My kids have embraced their competitiveness and have found an outlet to work hard and make new friends. I cannot express enough how much I recommend this gym and respect the coaches and what they have created here. I guarantee you won't find another place that offers what they provide... whether you are advanced or beginner, competitive or hobbyist, you will get everything you wanted out of a jiu jitsu gym and so much more.

Well, I'm 46. I wrestled in school and trained bjj thru my purple belt in my 20's and 30's, but I always lived so far from my old academy that it was hard to be consistent and progress. When I got married 5 years ago, I stopped all together, but it ate at me every day. I started looking at schools, then covid hit. In November, my 4 year old daughter had a conflict at preschool on the playground, but didn't have the tools, words, or strategy to handle it, so she kicked the boy in the face. I knew the solution so the next week I found Coach Somalia, rightdown the street. He is a world class top tier competitor. He is legit. I read his long list of international pro level accomplishments so we both went to class to try it out. My daughter is in the 3-4yr old class. I honestly don't know of anywhere that someone of his class teaches ever single kids class. Most schools have a higher belt student teach kids in trade for a deal or something. My daughter gets trained by a world class competitor and teacher every single class. She loved coach Somalia day one, talks about him constantly, and loves going to jiujitsu. As for me he has been patient, letting me ease back in as I get in better cardio shape. Now I am in class 2-3 times a week, I still get gassed but I can do the whole class, roll hard for a little while at the end of class, and leave sweating and smiling. At most schools, you have a target on your back, everyone testing and wanting a shot at you immediately. Coach Somalia created a unique culture of understanding, patience, and encouragement. I feel old and sometimes intimidated but since day one he has watched out for me, forced me to ease in when he could tell I was spent, and has kept the whole experience positive, fun, and challenging. He is a incredible coach to me and my daughter, and supports us as parents as a outside role model and is 110% trustworthy to teach, coach, spend time, advise, correct, or whatever is needed for my child. For you or your child, it's hard to describe the positive change in ones life that happens with excellent coaching. Do not miss this. Among martial arts and jiujitsu, Rockstar in North McKinney is extraordinary. Seriously. sincerely, K Wolfe

Coach Somalia is an amazing coach and mentor to his students. He takes the time to know every student individually. My son suffers from extreme social anxiety. His anxiety was compounded after being assaulted at school by another kid. Since he began working with coach Somalia, his confidence has soared tremendously. My son’s teacher told us that he has come completely out of his shell since starting at Rockstar. I absolutely love Coach Somalia’s approach to teaching his students self defense. “Talk, Tell, Take down”. He teaches the kids to confidently use their words to resolve conflict before resorting to physically defending yourself. And I love how he engages the parents. Every 3rd Saturday he allows the parents to join their kids on the mat to work on different techniques. I cannot express our appreciation for Coach Somalia enough.

You can tell they both love what they do and want the best for each child. Coach Somalia is patient, kind, and at each practice sits and has a nice inspirational talk with the kids. My son has learned better listening skills, learned how to focus, more confidence in himself, how to protect himself if needed, and most importantly how to treat others. I am so happy with our decision to join Rockstar Martial arts and my younger son can't wait to one day do it too! Any boy or girl would benefit so much from joining- I highly recommend!!!

The coaches at RockStar are the best. They're active and live the BJJ ethos. There's a reason I travel from Dallas to train with these guys, I love this place.

Coach Somalia and the Rockstar family are fantastic! The instructors are qualified highly and they work great with the children. The programs they have designed are balanced and build on top of each other to ensure progression helps the kids move forward continuously.

Rockstar has been a pillar in our household since my son was 4. We started him in martial arts to help harness his extra energy and improve his focus. Through the discipline of jujitsu and the coaches support both on and off the mat, my son has grown tremendously. His attention has improved, and he is performing well in his academics! I am thankful for the impact Rockstar has made on our family!

Joao is an amazing teacher, with kids and adults. I've personally seen him teach special needs and he taught me a lot and is also an all around great friend. Osss.

Coach Somalia is a wonderful teacher and mentor for young children and adults. I have been training with Coach Somalia for a year now and I am beyond thrilled that he will be sharing his knowledge and teachings with the McKinney community.
