About Our

Team

Roll Model Grappling Academy draws its inspiration from the renowned Roll Model Women’s Only Grappling Camp.  This camp, initiated by Coach Clingerman, stands as the largest global assembly of women grapplers.  The ethos, mindset, and overall vibe in our academy stem directly from this community.  

Community is most important to us.  RMGA is designed with the student in mind.  We care deeply about our people.  Some things that the team has organized for each other include a community pantry, free gear, free self defense classes and more.  

Whether you are interested in training with us for competition, self defense, a fun activity, or the great community, Roll Model Grappling might just be for you!  Come try out our gym for 30 days free and see if we are the right fit for you!  

We always love expanding our community!

Don't Take Our Word For It!

Community is huge for me in a gym atmosphere and Roll Model Grappling Academy couldn't be more welcoming. The facility is very clean and the instruction is phenomenal. This place is a breath of fresh air in the often macho martial arts world. I've trained here for over a year and plan to stay as long as I can. I love the environment, training, and the people!

We are new to BJJ, but my son is already in love with it! Thank you A.J. and Jen for being open minded, open hearted people. Would absolutely recommend! Plus, LGBTQA community friendly! Everyone is welcomed. That means so much to our family.

This academy has a strong sense of community. I have always felt welcomed. I have been training for a little over a year now and I love it. I started with their 30 day free trial and by the 3rd day I made the decision to join the gym. The coaches are so amazing and they dedicate themselves to helping you improve and get where you want to go.
