From the reviews
Roll Dogs is an excellent school. Family run with Coach K. Rojo, Coach assistant son in law Efren and daughter Jojo Rojo. I have both my kids going there and they enjoy learning the different styles of MMA, jujitsu and Muay Thai.
Kurt has exceptional experience and knowledge in Jiu Jitsu. He’s patient and thorough in his teachings to ensure as a student you learn it properly. He’s great with all age groups, helpful in meeting your goal whether it’s self defense or competition and promotes team work amongst the students.
My son joined the Roll Dogs a few months ago and we love it! He enjoys coming to the Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes. Coach Kurt, his wife and Coach Efren are amazing people! Definitely recommend this amazing place!
I’ve been training under professor Kurt for about seven years now. Very knowledgeable and has a very realistic approach to the sport and self-defense. The atmosphere is very inviting, good for beginners and people looking for a new school. I bring all of my kids here.
New to muay thai? Start at Roll Dogs Jiu-Jitsu
Roll Dogs Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Roll Dogs Jiu-Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
