I absolutely love coming to this school. I came here 6 years ago with the goal of wanting to learn self-defense with absolutely no prior athletic experience. I was welcomed with open arms by the staff and students, who were so kind and patient while working with me. I’m so happy I stayed and continue to practice my skills. The community here feels like family and I have made long lasting friendships here. If you are an adult who needs to find a healthy “third space” Renzo Gracie Rockland is the place to be!
Also, the owners, Omar and Arelis Jimenez are amazing people. They really care for all their students and want to ensure everyone feels comfortable...read full review
I walked into this place 3 years ago and have felt like family ever since. The community here is an amazing mix of competition and support. I have never felt a lack of caring or eagerness to help from any coach/professor. My only regret is not joining RGR sooner.
I have been a student at Renzo Gracie Rockland for about a year and a half. This is not a sport I ever imagined I would take up, but I started with the women’s program and gradually progressed to mixed classes, and then tournaments as I gained confidence. I appreciate the professors enormously. The students are welcoming and encouraging. This is a place for learning serious skills among really kind people.
