A few words from

Professor Rodolfo Rocha

My name is Rodolfo Rocha owner and head Coach at RR Martial Arts. I’m black belt in Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. I started training martial arts when I was young, looking for discipline, focus, and personal growth. Over the years, martial arts became my passion and my life.

I have competed in many Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and also fought professionally in MMA, including events like Bellator, one of the biggest MMA promotions in the world. These experiences taught me more than just how to fight — they taught me about respect, hard work, and never giving up.

Today, my mission is to share everything I’ve learned with my students. I truly believe that Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai can change lives — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. Whether you want to compete, get in shape, learn self-defense, or build confidence, martial arts can help you.

I teach kids, teens, and adults, both beginners and advanced students. My classes are welcoming, safe, and challenging, and I always give my best to help each student grow on and off the mats.
Thanks!

Martial arts gave me everything — and now I’m here to give back.

DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE

Any of these challenges?

They are great kids but they just don’t listen, often being told to do something a hundred times before they actually do anything.

They’re bright and intelligent, yet have trouble paying attention at home, in school or in any important situation, even being classified as an “ADD” or “ADHD” child.

They are simply shy and lack the confidence and self-esteem needed to live up to their full potential.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF RAISING CHILDREN ARE NEAR ENDLESS

There really is a safe, natural and extremely effective way to take charge and positively impact every aspect of your child’s life. It doesn’t take medicine, therapy, harsh actions, or cajoling your kids to change their behavior. Instead, it is teaching your kids self-discipline, hard work, confidence, and respect. This done in a way that empowers them while also teaching them humility, and promoting health and fitness… all at the same time.

Sounds like a wonder cure doesn’t it? But there really is something that does all that. And that’s the power of martial arts classes.

YOUR CHILD WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!

Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily – far more easily than we do as adults. In fact, parents can sometimes see a difference in their kids after just one martial arts class. Each additional class they attend increases their knowledge and growth.

Not only are they getting healthier as they learn martial arts, they’re also learning the value of self-discipline and respect. When you enroll your child in a martial arts class, you’re giving them much more than the physical skills we teach. You’re giving them the opportunity to thrive.

LIFELONG CHARACTER AND SUCCESS TRAITS

Your kids’ everyday friends aren’t the main concern anymore when it comes to character development. Now you have to worry about all the negative and harmful influences that the internet can introduce into your children’s lives.

The true benefit or our classes are the character and success traits that are developed through martial arts training. Through learning the skills and techniques of martial arts, to the guidance and inspiration of our instructors and the positive social interaction with their fellow classmates, your kids will develop a whole list of skills.

ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES

MORE BENEFITS OF RR MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY

They are great kids but they just don’t listen, often being told to do something a hundred times before they actually do anything.

Learning martial arts builds physical stamina and strength, two key components of physical fitness.

An intense martial arts workout can burn 600 calories or more, helping kids drop excess weight.

Martial arts training increases muscle mass – and muscle burns more calories than fat and accelerates weight loss.

FITNESS DISGUISED

Face it. Between the foods we eat and the constant sitting and staring into screens and devices, many kids aren’t getting enough regular exercise. Our martial arts classes for kids are full exercise routines disguised as a boatload of fun! That’s because they are jam packed with activities, games and drills that are all designed to disguise the repetition of training.

Of course it’s important for your kids to exercise and wear themselves out – they stay healthy, sleep well, and develop their minds and bodies. But just as important, our classes will help develop at a young age the physical habits they need to grow into healthy adults.

SELF-DEFENSE FROM PREDATORS AND BULLIES

We never want our kids to have to use these skills in modern life, but every good parent still wants their kids to be safe. That’s why our martial arts training is very serious about teaching your kids the skills needed for self-protection in any circumstance, from the neighborhood bully to a stranger on the street (and so much more).

But knowing how to defend oneself is only half the battle. Our classes teach your child the respect and self-discipline needed to diffuse a situation without violence whenever possible – as well as the knowledge to know when force is the only way to safety.

TONS OF F-U-N !!

We never forget… kids are kids and they deserve to have some fun! We can’t guarantee that their normal school teachers are making learning an enjoyable experience, but we DO guarantee that your kid will have a blast in our martial arts classes.

It really is a challenge to design a class that keeps children focused on learning, respect, and discipline while still having fun… but our classes are created just for that. They are so full of ideas, activities, and games that your kids will never get bored or stagnate. It’s also a fantastic and healthy environment for them (and you) to make friends with other like-minded students. It really is a place where laughter, cheer and happiness abound.

Reviews & Feedback

I can't say enough about this academy, Rodolfo is really the best instructor. He teaches both Jiujitsu and Muay Thai, I love both classes. Rodolfo started in a smaller gym and has now expanded to a bigger and nicer spot.

I recently attended an all-women's adult kickboxing class at RR Martial Arts in West Long Branch, and I can’t recommend it enough! The instructor was absolutely fantastic, pushing us to perform at our best while creating a supportive and encouraging environment.

My kids have been doing jiu-jitsu now for a couple of months. They absolutely love Rodolfo, he always pushes them to better themselves. Best part is he treats us like family. Highly recommend.
