Had a great experience at Rolling Bear Jiu Jitsu! The environment was incredibly clean, welcoming, and well-organized. Everyone I met was friendly, respectful, and made me feel right at home. You can tell the community here takes pride in both their training and their culture. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking to train! Lydia and Leo are awesome—super welcoming, down-to-earth, and you can really tell they care about everyone who walks through the door.

I started the all women’s group on Fridays, and it's been an amazing experience! Lydia is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, it welcomes all levels of experience. Rolling Bear Jiu-Jitsu is fantastic, offering classes for kids as well! Which I plan on enrolling my daughter as well! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn jiujitsu and make a positive impact on their lives! I love this group and couldn’t imagine having a better experience than here. You won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been consistently training at this gym since November, and it’s been an incredible experience. Lydia and Leo are not only fantastic coaches, but genuinely kind and supportive people. From the very beginning, they’ve created a space that feels welcoming, encouraging, and grounded in community. Their coaching style is super attentive — they’re great at spotting details and giving personalized feedback that actually helps you improve. You can tell they’re invested in everyone’s growth, no matter where you’re at in your journey. I also really appreciate the 6am classes. That’s the only time I can train, and having that option has made it possible for me to stick with it and stay consistent. It’s not easy waking up early to roll, but it’s always worth it. If you’re looking for a place to train where you’ll be challenged, supported, and feel like part of something, this is the gym.

My son has been coming since October. He did go somewhere previously and did not learn and it was not clean. Rolling Bear has been a great experience for him!! He is learning and enjoying both Lydia and Leo so much. This BJJ school is a Community ! People who come to class are always nice to my son and make him feel welcome. I would recommend Rolling Bear to anyone!!! Thank you

Rolling Bear BJJ has been such a welcoming place to be. Currently I participate in the new ladies open mat that occurs Friday night and appreciate the knowledge that Lydia shares with the group. Lydia and Leo have created a great place for people to learn daily and to visit for open mat. Bonus they are very understanding when you need to bring your mini me aka Velcro child with you. Recently, they were open for Memorial Day open mat and I was able to roll with just about everyone on the mat. I felt safe and comfortable as a female 3 stripe white belt during the rolling. Every single person offered to help walk me through certain moves or provided me opportunities to ask questions or just laugh at myself for getting myself in silly positions. Highly recommend this school for BJJ!
