Had a blast at the camp. This gym is clean, welcoming, respectful, safe. It is a good community and you can tell the owners care.
Went to Rough Hands for a bjj camp and learned soo much. There's a lot of mat space and Jesse and Shelby are great people and have created a welcoming and diverse community that are active and connected in the jj world. Great instruction and great vibes
Not being a very athletic person, i was very intimidated to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Not only is everyone at Rough Hands super welcoming, the culture is all about working and learning at your own pace. We have hobbyists, competitors and everything in between. If you've ever wanted to try a martial art but have been too intimidated to try, I cannot recommend this gym enough.
