Be a Renegade

Viet Bui

John and Jaime's methodical, one-on-one approach to teaching beginners during the first few classes was incredibly helpful for me to understand the basic concepts. This experience contrasts with my previous trials at other places, where I was thrown into group classes and expected to keep up without fully grasping the names and techniques. What I particularly appreciate about Renegade: 1) Shorter class durations (less tiring), 2) Friendly atmosphere and welcoming community, 3) Minimal pressure to compete or spar, especially when recovering from injuries. These all contribute to making me want to come back again.

John and Jamie have created such a caring and helpful community. Everyone is trying to help each other be better. I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else.

Great place to train if you’re passing through. Dropped in for a couple of sessions over the week. Coach and students are so welcoming and had some really good hard rolls but felt safe at all times.

Starting BJJ after a long break and joining Renegade has been one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time. Jamie, Cal, John and the rest of the Instructors run amazing classes and are such top guys to talk to. The moment I walked in and EVERY time I walk in I feel nothing but love and acceptance. They have on offer their own custom made Hyperfly GI's but have always encouraged getting your own Gi if you want to. +++18 Month Update+++ One of the main reasons I decided to do BJJ was due to my ongoing back pain from lack of stretching. I knew BJJ requiring flexibility would force me to do my stretches before class. That combined with warm up drills/stretches and the nature of rolling on the mat I have had no back pain for over 12 months. Me being the stubborn mule that I am, there is nothing like the competitive nature of BJJ and the wanting to improve to force one to do what's right for their body.... I'm ecstatic!! +++ 6.5 Year Update+++ Now a 2 stripe purple belt. What a journey. People think that BJJ is hard and in some ways it is, but it's one of the few rare things in life that just by turning up, you just keep getting better at. There's ups... and downs..... and more downs.... and then there's ups again just like in life. Jamie... such a great coach. Always welcoming and always excited to see you turn up. Then there's the other members. Sometimes you get to do the smashing but most days you end up getting smooshed by people who have become your good friends some of them your best friends Almost like a second family. They all care about you and how you're doing not just in BJJ but in life. This place has truly been a savior. I'm just going to keep turning up. You should too.
