Welcome to Roll Art Jiu-Jitsu
Whether you are an aspiring world champion, a health & fitness practitioner, a Law Enforcement Officer/First Responder looking for safe, non-lethal defense alternatives, or a parent wishing to instill confidence and give your kids a safe place to learn anti-bullying & self-defense, you have found your home. RAJJ is coming soon, with an expected soft opening this December & a Grand Opening in January 2025!
ROLL ART JJ is owned and operated by black belts Sergio Valbuena, Larry Deeder, and blue belt, Levi Thurston. The RAJJ owners are highly experienced, passionate jiu-jitsu practitioners and active competitors, well versed in coaching and mentoring all levels of students. Two of the RAJJ owners are also honorably discharged, disabled military veterans. RAJJ’s number one goal is to become Colorado’s first choice to provide you and your family with professional level Jiu-Jitsu training, from some of the most knowledgeable and respected instructors in the industry.
We are in the early phases of developing what we envision to be one of the most exciting and innovative jiu-jitsu academies in the area. We are currently building out an amazing location off of Garden of the Gods Road in Colorado Springs. We will be updating everyone on our progress on our social media channels and via this blog/newsletter.
RAJJ will be focused solely on Jiu-Jitsu, affectionately known as the “gentle art.” And though it is a full contact martial art, it does not include striking (punching/kicking), but rather teaches how to control an aggressor or opponent through grappling, joint manipulation and in cases of competition, submission. We plan to offer Gi & NoGi classes for all ages, genders, levels, non-competitors & competitors alike. When you join or even visit RAJJ, you will be welcomed and treated as part of our family from the moment you walk in the door.
Our mission is to encourage everyone to try Jiu-Jitsu, regardless of age, gender or fitness level. We hope to instill in our students that jiu-Jitsu is much more than a sport or a fitness routine… It becomes a way of life. Jiu-Jitsu teaches confidence, self-control, self-defense, sportsmanship, and above all else, respect for each other.
The Jiu-Jitsu community is one of camaraderie, work ethic & passion. It is the perfect environment for anyone & everyone wishing to get fit, compete, or get their kids on track for success. Every belt or stripe given out at RAJJ will be earned through progress and merit.
We hope to welcome you into the Roll Art JJ family very soon. Please follow our social media channels for all the progress & updates, pre-launch signup offers, and of course, an invite to our opening day!
