Roll Dogs Jiu Jitsu is a one of a kind BJJ school. Being the first and most popular school in the Palm Springs area, I remember learning so much here since the beginning. I'll always be grateful for the family, the training and the authenticity. So cool that now it's in Rialto!

If you’re in Palm Springs and looking for an incredible drop in experience, get yourself to Roll Dogs. It’s off the beaten path a bit. Don’t be scared. Gino and his people have heart, grit, knowledge and are eager to share even with a tourist like me, just there for the day. I’ll be back next time I bring the family back to the desert for vacation.

Got Questions? We Got Answers

My child isn't athletic. Can he/she still participate in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Absolutely. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches kids to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Kids who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Kids who do have these qualities develop them even more.

Are these Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes fun?

Yes! After all, these are children we're dealing with here. And kids love their fun. We do a variety of games and activities that have kids laughing and smiling. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.

Can Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu cause injury?

Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.

Do you have to be in good shape to take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes?

Not at all! In fact, many people use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu violent?

No! Because self-defense technique is taught in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.

What's a good age for a child to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We have young children, as well as teenagers. We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.
