Coach Ryan has elevated my entire family's jiu-jitsu. He is a natural born teacher that has increased our knowledge and execution because he doesn't teach just what to do but also why you would do something. The atmosphere of the gym is fabulous - laid back but full of people focused on learning and bettering themselves. All of the coaches are highly professional and respectful of all students. We are so happy we have found your gym.

What makes Rogue different?
Nogi, Positive Energy People, World Class Seminars, Kickboxing

Nogi all day. If you prefer Nogi to gi, this is your place. There are classes all day & night to fit your schedule.

Positive Energy People. I’m a brown belt. Have trained 9 years, 6 with Ryan. Energy/vibration of a gym is super important and is set by the coach. This is a place for people who want to train nogi jiu jitsu in a safe, clean environment and get better in all areas of their lives. We are here to help each other get better. Coach Ryan set the proper vibe. This vibe attracts positive energy people. My training partners have become some of my closest friends. A lot of upper belts train here. This is something you won’t find at many places. As a beginner, you should seek out higher belts to train with. They will help you and won’t hurt you. My kids also train at Rogue Wave. My son was bullied in school. He defended himself with the skills he learned from Ryan. Will always be grateful for that.

World class seminars and instruction. Rogue Wave is the ONLY school in South Florida, maybe even the nation, that consistently hosts seminars with living legends like Rafael Lovato Jr, Gilbert Burns, Vicente Luque, Roberto Jimenez, Gianni Grippo, Giancarlo Bodoni, JZ, John Combs, and other ADCC, EBI, Combat Jiu Jitsu, Bellator and UFC vets. Ryan absorbs this knowledge and passes it down to his students. The sport continues to evolve. This is cutting edge jiu jitsu.

Kickboxing/Muay Thai. Fights start on the feet. Everybody should know basic striking. There are wrestling and fitness classes too. All these options can help you become a more well-rounded martial artist or just help you loose weight and look great naked.

I have been taking my children to Rogue Wave for several months now and have been extremely impressed with the instruction and atmosphere. The owner Ryan and his team, have created a welcoming and supportive environment for both kids and adults to learn and grow in the sport of jiu-jitsu.

The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, and they do an excellent job of tailoring the lessons to the individual skill levels of each student. My children have improved their technique and confidence in the sport thanks to the instruction they've received at the gym.

Additionally, the gym's facilities are top-notch and always kept clean. The mats are well-maintained, and the equipment is in great condition.

Overall, I highly recommend Rogue Wave to anyone looking to learn and improve in the sport, whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner. The instruction is top-notch, the facilities are great, and the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive.
