Renzo Gracie Rockland

“I've been training Jiu-Jitsu for a few years now and made the move to Renzo Gracie Rockland in November. I couldn't be happier with the experience. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which reflects the professionalism of the staff and instructors. The instruction is highly technical, with a strong emphasis on both fundamentals and advanced concepts—perfect for anyone serious about improving. What truly stands out is the team atmosphere. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned competitor, you'll find a supportive and encouraging environment that also pushes you to excel. Omar and Arelis have built a deep connection with their students and the school itself, creating a space that genuinely feels like a community. Their passion, along with the guidance of numerous black belts who regularly train and teach, makes for an exceptional learning environment. I am looking forward to continuing my journey here and growing both on and off the mats. If you're looking for a clean, professional, and competitive school with top-tier instruction and a welcoming vibe, Renzo Gracie Rockland is the place.”

“Community, discipline, good people, and personal evolution. These are all words that describe Renzo Gracie Rockland. Here you will learn to be strong, humble and to take yourself to the next level. Fair price for unlimited classes. Many skilled teachers and students. Love it and will always tell people about this place and be grateful that I found this gem.”

“I’ve had my Son here for going on one year and he very seldom misses a class. These instructors are phenomenal. My son is 8 and it’s the perfect amount of toughness. He used to be in tae kwon do where he got a participation trophy based on attendance. Not here. He has to earn and that’s exactly what I was looking for. A class that’s actually useful in real life and these instructors are dedicated to get him to where he wants to be, wherever that is.”

“I've trained in the martial arts before at other schools, but none of them were the right fit for me. Either the instructors had egos, or I couldn't get the extra support that I needed, not being a natural athlete. As a 53-year-old man who was never a gym class hero, I struggled to find a place where I could learn and better myself through training. Renzo Gracie Rockland is that place. You're greeted with a warm hello and a handshake the moment you enter, and the Gracie-trained instructors make sure that you get all of the assistance that you need. They're here because they truly cherish the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and because they truly care about sharing it with every student. Every time I come, I feel completely comfortable and at ease knowing that every instructor is offering top-flight lessons in what can be a challenging art to master. You'll find yourself making steady progress before you know it, thanks to each professor's (the term for instructor in BJJ) humility and genuine interest in helping you to be your best. You don't have to be a champion to train here, but you'll certainly be treated like one. I encourage anyone even thinking about coming here to do so immediately. You'll make one of the best decisions of your life. Other dojos claim to provide a family atmosphere, but Renzo Gracie Rockland delivers with its wonderful staff. I wholeheartedly recommend this school completely to everyone from white belts to black belts.”

“I cannot express how grateful we are for the crew here. Every single interaction has been amazing beyond belief and the positivity and confidence they have instilled in my son is priceless. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this is the place to be. Arelis and all the professors have been such an amazing support team and have made us all feel welcome in this wonderful community of people. I highly recommend this team above all else.”
