Rollstar Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense
Since Royce Gracie burst onto the scene at UFC 1 in 1993, BJJ has been the fastest growing martial art in the world. Its methodology of leverage, timing, and technique to give the smaller, weaker person the advantage against a large opponent is no myth. We have dedicated ourselves to promoting the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu lifestyle in a professional, team-oriented, dynamic environment without any room for ego.

Our coaches have years of experience in health and martial arts instruction to help you reach your goals.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It is a derivative of early 20th century Kodokan Judo which was itself then a recently-developed system (founded in 1882), based on multiple schools of Japanese Jiu-Jitsu later modified and further developed by the famous Gracie Family of Brazil.
Our Kids Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense program is structured to unleash your child's full potential and help them build the confidence and strength they need to overcome any obstacle. During their training, your child will be able to progress at their very own pace. We focus on key elements that will aid them in their development in becoming intelligent, productive adults such as respect discipline and leadership skills.
Our goal is to take the inexperienced to a point where they feel confident and ready to defend themselves in a variety of threatening situations. This class focuses on repeat drilling and application of learned techniques to help our athletes improve their speed, accuracy, and efficiency.

Not just for beginners, our Fundamentals class focuses on the foundational positions and techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that all level athletes need to master.A must-have for self-defense and sport training! Our Sport Class combines advanced techniques with enhanced fundamental movements to allow students a deeper exploration of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
A moment is all it takes for someone to attack. And when they do, seconds can make the difference between suffering an assault and creating an escape. Mere seconds are all that stand between becoming a victim and walking away a survivor! We can bring our team to your facility or you are welcome to host an event at our academy in Hackensack, NJ.
The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program focuses exclusively on learning the technical concepts of the art from a self-defense and competition perspective. You will learn the major and most effective techniques that will enable you to effectively transition from the standing position to the ground. The Maryland program is led by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Professor, Dr. Hernan Guadalupe, MMACS.

Outstanding black belt instructors along with hardcore students makes this one of the best BJJ dojos in NJ. I attended a weekend of training and it was the most intense session. Learned so much. If you live close by then definitely enroll. If you are passing through town and looking for a place to roll then look no further than Rollstar BJJ.

Diego is doing such a great job at rollstar. Rollstar is one of the best gyms I have been to in the Bergen county area. Why? Simply this: rollstar is open to training with everyone regardless of affiliation, pursuit of knowledge is evident and a core mantra.
They know I train at a different gym but always welcome me with open arms. Best gym around

My son loves this school; as do I. Coach Diego, Coach Fred, Professor Luis and Professor Omar are all amazing instructors. They take their time with the students and ensure they are understanding the concepts of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My son previously came from a school that did the opposite of this. When he started at Rollstar I could see the change and enthusiasm build to go to class. The school has a very familial environment. Everyone makes you feel like your family. The workout is good and they do a lot to make it fun for the children while they learn BJJ techniques.
Don’t pass on this opportunity

Great school. All the teachers are very patient and caring. They do a great job of setting that tone for everyone else. All the advanced belts are helpful and mindful of the less experienced ones. Regardless of experience level everyone seems to get a great workout and have alot of fun while doing it. Parking is a huge plus as well!

Rollstar BJJ is a wonderful environment for kids and adults. Coach Diego is a wonderful coach who teaches kids not only BJJ moves but life skills. He is extremely patient and kind. The new facility also has great amenities. There is a play room for infants and toddlers and a study room for kids to finish up their homework before or after class. If you are interested in being in a wholesome and fun environment that allows you to grow in your personal development or for the enrichment of your children, then Rollstar is the place for you.

This school offers excellent instruction in BJJ by coaches Diego and Hernan. It is a family friendly environment that offers kids and adult classes. They are beginner friendly and a great way to get in shape and learn practical self defense. I was first nervous to try classes when I started BJJ and now I am hooked! Coaches Diego and Hernan are excellent instructors and I would highly recommend to give them a try.
