Rough Hands BJJ

“I found Rough Hands several years ago while looking for martial arts classes for my kids. My kids were too young for a lot of other places in town at that time and many of the others I looked into were insanely overpriced. After the first class I took my girls to and meeting Shelby and Jesse I knew we were in the right spot. They were both patient with my kids and excellent coaches who really know how to break down techniques into easy to learn pieces for both kids and adults. They are easy to talk to and make their classes fun. I now take classes at Rough Hands as well and it’s helped me to get into shape and feel confident that I could defend myself should I ever need to plus classes are always a lot of fun. There really is something for everyone and whether you’re brand new to martial arts or you’ve trained before you’re welcome at Rough Hands! Come hit some shit with us! UPDATE: I’m still training at Rough Hands! This is the longest I’ve ever stuck with any kind of fitness routine and Rough Hands is 100% the reason. This place is like my second family and I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else. Between BJJ, yoga and strength training/conditioning classes I’m always way there and Rough Hands is like my home! After almost 6 years I’m in much better shape than I ever thought I’d be at 41 years old and I can’t wait to see what the next years at Rough Hands bring!”

“The staff and members at Rough Hands are some of the most welcoming people in the bjj community. The teaching is top notch, and it is beginner friendly AND great for the experienced practitioners as well. 10/10, would recommend, and I've visited a LOT of bjj gyms.”

“Great 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. Personally, I've been taking classes for over a year and have loads of choices and opportunities to participate in great seminars.”

“Rough Hands is a great place to learn BJJ. Both the Teachers and other Students are very friendly and helpful! here we place a heavy emphasis on providing a safe and enjoyable experience. The community you'll find here is truly special.”

“Rough hands is the first experience I have had in a martial arts gym. I find my first exposure to things sets the tone for my overall view on the topic and in this case it is exceptional. I fully endorse rough hands and trust Shelby and Jesse. I have never felt more comfortable being uncomfortable!”
