"Definitely the best Jiu-jitsu!!! Great kids classes and adult classes. Clean environment!!! Great people and great instructors!!!"
"Coach Joe is phenomenal! He is by far one of the most patient, chill, supportive, and motivating BJJ instructors I’ve worked with. He wants his students to be the best versions of themselves and will provide the tools needed on the mat. I also have to mention the affiliation and BJJ family itself, everyone in the Rooted family is welcoming and supportive in my personal BJJ journey. If you were ever thinking of starting or just need to transfer to a new gym, definitely need to work with coach Joe."
"Rooted BJJ is a great place to learn the "Gentle art" Joe Bacani is an amazing instructor who provides a great atmosphere to train at. Him and his family make every student feel really welcome and part of the family. I'd recommend this location to everyone in the area who is curious about learning bjj. As soon as you walk in you feel welcome. Check it out."
"Professor Bacani is an amazing instructor. He is detail oriented, patient, and very knowledgeable in the art/science of Brazilian JiuJitsu. You will learn all the self defense and sport concepts of BJJ, and you will definitely stay in shape with Professor Bacani. Rooted JiuJitsu is highly recommended! Great atmosphere, great classes and top notch instruction."
