I've been to a couple BJJ gyms in the past prior to committing to Roots in late 2018. The first thing that I noticed immediately was Gerson's attitude, patience and quality of instructions. He brings the friendly and welcoming islander vibe that makes you feel at home and part of a family. His leadership can be seen and felt instilled into ALL of his students. Everyone is extremely welcoming and friendly. If you are looking for a great place to train as a competitor or a hobbyist, this is THE spot. Gerson understands that people train Jiu Jitsu for various reasons and it's not always about winning against other people, but winning against yourself. People here are very humble, skilled and can turn up the heat if needed. I'm glad I found Gerson and the Roots family!
I've been a member at Roots since 2017. If you're looking for a place that blends high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training with a supportive, community-driven environment, Roots BJJ and Fitness might just be the gym you're looking for. Our head instructor Josh Cisneros is amongst the best in the world in the Gi and No Gi.<br><br>From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted with a clean, modern space that is purposefully designed for Jujitsu. The mat space is spacious, with high-quality mats that offer a good balance of comfort and stability. Great place for kids and adults to train at.
Roots BJJ is an awesome school! The vibe here is laid-back and welcoming, with solid instructors both morning and night. Gerson is a decorated, respected competitor who's been training and competing around the Valley for many years. In fact, a large segment of the students here have trained together for at least 10 years or more. There is a ton of knowledge here. This school truly has a family environment, a great kids program, 6 a.m. classes 5 days a week, and one of the most popular open mats in the Valley! Highly recommend Roots Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Gilbert!!
Great gym for a first time practitioner, they have kids classes, white belt classes, female only classes, and no gi classes. They let white belts roll as well and I’m so glad I didn’t unknowingly sign up for a gym that wouldn’t let me roll until I was a blue belt (I guess some gyms don’t allow white belts to roll)<br><br>It’s really a family vibe and everyone is always willing to help no matter your belt color. It’s awesome to have the support I have from all the teammates and coaches. I’ve rolled with almost every one at the gym from white belts to black belts and every single person helped me and gave me feedback after we rolled.
Sharing this after being a member for 4 years, I’ve never felt a more at home and welcoming situation in the Jiujitsu community. I could always count on the people and practitioners to push me on and off the mats.<br>I no longer train at roots because of a work move but I often find myself missing the environment that Professor Gerson and his black belts have built for the gym. Gerson’s humbling spirit and willingness to help others improve their game from all surrounding schools<br>Makes Roots a hotspot for great drop in competitors.<br>If competition isn’t in your future Roots is very hobbyist friendly mixed in with its competitive practitioners.
Gerson is a dynamic instructor for beginners like me as well as training competitors. He works hard, creates a fun atmosphere, and cares about his students. I visited several jiujitsu classes at other gyms before deciding on Roots. Community, one-on-one time grappling, technique - after the first class I could tell the difference btw this gym and the others.
