Three modalities
Build a more
complete game.
Gi, No-Gi, and wrestling each develop a different layer of grappling. Train the style that fits your goals or combine all three.
Gi Jiu-Jitsu
Use grips, structure, leverage, and patient positional control to build technical escapes, passing, submissions, and a precise understanding of pressure.
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu
Develop grip-free control, faster transitions, takedowns, scrambles, and submissions that reward timing, movement, and adaptability.
Wrestling
Build confident takedowns, defense, pressure, control, and scrambles with dedicated instruction from Coach Walid Elashri.

Adult BJJ questions
Before your
first class.
Starting is straightforward. Come ready to learn, and the coaching team will handle the rest.
Do I need to be in shape before starting BJJ?
No. Training helps develop conditioning over time. Work at a sustainable pace, communicate with your coach, and build consistency before worrying about intensity.
Do I need a Gi for my first class?
Contact us before your visit and we will direct you to the right class and let you know exactly what to wear. Clean, fitted athletic clothing works for No-Gi.
Will I have to spar on my first day?
No. Your first experience should focus on learning the room, the movements, and the class structure. Coaches will guide you toward live training when it makes sense.
Can experienced students train at Rolling Bear?
Yes. Intermediate and Advanced classes provide detailed instruction, positional rounds, live rolling, and competition-focused training for experienced grapplers.
