    Honor, respect, family
    Frank C.

    So I'm bias, Sergio is not only a mentor he is a Master of Jiu Jitsu as well! I could stop at mentioning his 37 yrs as a black belt and the countless number of great Jiu Jitsu and MMA fighters he's molded or shown the true meaning of pressure! Sergio's school is no joke! Everyone greats you with a smile and everyone is welcomed as a member of the family. He is without a doubt royalty in the would of Jitz! Now he doesn't get as much press as the Graces do but don't underestimate his influence here in the US! I recall when I first joined, one day I counted 11 black belts present in class! All the guys from whiteto black are top notch! I can say I trained with most of the big names in Vegas, guess if you rolled all of them together maybe they would have Sergio's level of experience! If your in Vegas and your at the beginning your journey, or if you've been around the block come, by the Spring Mountain location you won't regret! If your already in town and sick of training with a guy with a giant ego, or a part time teacher and a full time fighter?! You owe it to learn from the root of modern Jiu Jitsu! Again I'm bias, and I currently live in NYC and train with another legend, in Marcello. They are really one in the same, very confident, humble and masters of the art of grappling warfare! Honor, respect, family!

    With so many places to train in Las Vegas, I can see why some people get confuse to where to train.

    We have had 2 disappointing experiences at Roll Society Jiu-Jitsu…read more About 6 or so months ago, I was searching for a local spot to supplement my son's primary sport (soccer) with some ground work, thinking jiu-jitsu could help with wrestling-like skills one day a week. We weren't aiming to become competitive fighters, just some extra training around his busy schedule. Initially, they offered a $25 drop-in class advertised for kids. When we arrived, there were no other children in the class. It ended up being essentially a private session with the coach, which they hyped as "more personalized," but it didn't impress us at all. The coaching felt basic, but the biggest issue was the hard sell started immediately, they pushed aggressively for signing up for more sessions or a full membership, even after I clearly explained that soccer was his main focus and we were only looking for occasional drop-ins. We tried a few more sessions (about 4 total), but then they suddenly informed us that drop-ins were no longer available and we'd have to commit to a monthly membership. That didn't align with our needs, so we stopped going. Recently, I noticed on Facebook that the same location had rebranded with a new name and what looked like new ownership. Hoping things had improved (especially for kids programs), I reached out via Messenger. They offered two free trial classes for my son, so we gave it another shot. Upon arriving, it was immediately clear it was the exact same people, same owner, just a new name on the door. They refused to honor the two free classes because we'd been there before (fair enough), but then said we could pay the drop-in fee which they'd previously claimed was discontinued, yet now it was back (now $30). I was fine with paying, but I wanted to observe if any other kids would show up for the "kids" session. None did. The staff (Joe) was rude and dismissive when I asked basic questions, and overall I was made to feel unwelcome. Later on, the person who I had messaged with about the free trials, followed up and claimed he was a new trainer there, and wanted to give my boy a chance to train with him, and everything that had transpired was because of a big mix up. That "Joey" (the rude staff) didn't know anything about our messages or his 2 free classes offer. I appreciated the follow up and the clarification, which is why I'm going to give them two stars instead of one. I get that gyms are businesses and need to make money, but I don't understand the disdain toward someone who just wants to use the drop-in option they advertise--especially when that particular kids class seems empty anyway. If you offer it, why get upset when people take you up on it? Overall, the inconsistent policies, high-pressure sales tactics, and occasional abrasiveness made for 2 frustrating experiences. It doesn't feel like a place that genuinely welcomes casual students or supports young athletes with busy schedules. It seems more focused on locking people into long-term commitments. We won't be going back, and I'd advise other parents to explore other options that prioritize the students over aggressive upselling.

After he had tried the class, he said, "Dad, I loved everything!" So we signed him up, and glad we did. He has been training now for the past eleven months. He started in the Mini Cobras program in the summer of 2023, then transitioned into the Kids (Beginner) program at six years old. The program offers many benefits that extend beyond the mats into everyday life. Students learn respect, discipline, and perseverance. They learn to appreciate the value of setting goals and achieving them with hard work and determination. They develop problem-solving skills and mental toughness. As a parent, it's exciting to see our son overcome challenges and build character in the process. The classes embrace a growth mindset, emphasizing continual progress with small gains that add up over time. The instructors break down technique so students can more easily understand. Professors and coaches are dedicated and passionate. They create a positive learning environment where students can feel comfortable, regardless of their skill level. This makes it a great place for beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners. The gym maintains high standards of cleanliness and safety. There is a strong sense of family at this gym. The team is supportive of one another. They also serve the community by hosting special events and fundraisers for good causes. Cobrinha Mountain's Edge actively participates in competitions, providing ample opportunities for students to gain experience in tournaments. The class schedule is practical for busy lifestyles and membership is a great investment. Located in a rapidly growing area of Southwest Las Vegas, Cobrinha Mountain's Edge is especially convenient for residents of Mountain's Edge, Southern Highlands, and Southwest Las Vegas. It's remarkable to see how it has grown in just a short period of time. I highly recommend Cobrinha Mountain's Edge for anyone interested.

The coaches are consistent, passionate, organized, and thorough with teaching the mini cobras. Coach John, Coach Allison, and Coach Cat are my daughter's favorite coaches! We do have a preference of going certain days of the week for a few reasons: I can tell the coaches are much more patient on Thursday-Saturday rather than Monday through Wednesday. It's also a lot less crowded during the latter half of the week. I know they do a lot more drilling in the beginning of the week, so it's unfortunate we tend to miss that time. Overall, we're very satisfied at Cobrinha and will continue to be dedicated members.

So I feel he's both arrogant and obnoxious when provided with feedback he doesn't agree with. I had to tell him multiple times I was done with the conversation, this was because I was uncomfortable at that point. It definitely felt like I couldn't voice my opinion on his business He explained he didn't stop the kids from running out because he was busy unlocking another child from the restroom and that the reason he seemed annoyed/irritated when he came in and yelled at us all to move our cars was because he had gotten into it with the tow truck guy outside and had them unhook a car He also explained he's not arrogant, that it's just my opinion and basically wanted to know why I felt that way, I explained I've seen him interact with others and he wanted to know who/when, which didn't seem right if this is how he reacted to my review. He asked why i thought he was arrogant and I let him know because of how he was approaching from the review I left - i let him know he was being arrogant then and there As far as my son being afraid of him, I explained it was also due to one interaction they had and he said he speaks to the kids like a coach(which I explained from my opinion/perspective it didn't feel that way) My previous review mentioned my son got ring worm from borrowing the boxing gloves and he let me know that was impossible. I explained this was a gym and it was very possible but he wasn't having it so I stood my ground as well insisting he got it there because it happened after using their gloves which isn't a problem just brought it up as a precaution didn't need to be defensive about it He let me know that if I wasn't happy I could leave, I reminded him I paid for the year and it's not like he's going to refund me the remainder of the year. He said he wasn't kicking us out just letting us know we could leave if we weren't happy As far as the AC goes, he let me know the building isn't equipped with AC. He has 4 coolers installed which are on all day from the am until closing - I explained when I left the review it didn't feel like any cooler was on as the only hot breeze was from the 42" fan, no other. The reason for the one star was his approach and how he made me feel during this last interaction. I let him know I'd like to finish the remainder of the year for my son and not have to interact with him again.
