From First Timers to World Champions — Everyone Trains Here.
Most of our members started with zero experience. Some came in ranked. What they all have in common is they found exactly what they were looking for at Rebellion — because we built programs for both ends of the spectrum and everyone in between.
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu
Our No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu classes offer both wrestling and advanced modern no-gi techniques. We are constantly evolving our curriculum to stay at the cutting edge of today's jiu-jitsu. All students, from novice to advanced competitors, are encouraged to attend all levels of classes offered.
Gi Jiu-Jitsu
Our Gi BJJ program offers classes with levels ranging from fundamentals to advanced modern competition tested techniques. All of our BJJ classes are open to students of all skill levels beginner through advanced. These Gi classes provide the foundation for all of your grappling training should be an integral part of your training regimen.
Competition Training
For athletes who want to push further. Our unique competition based classes pair strength and conditioning — programmed on proven Conjugate Method principles — with live sparring rounds. Led by head instructor Jaime Filer, a top-ranked Gi and No-Gi competitor, and strength coach Zach Filer, a Conjugate Tactical HQ/Westside Barbell team member.
The pursuit of always offering training at the highest level and ahead of the curve is something we pride ourselves on. We are always updating our approach with new concepts to offer the best use of your time when in the gym. This goes from the mats to our weight room. You will always be exposed to fresh techniques, styles of training; and challenges to help get you to your goals at Rebellion.
If you're serious about competing,

Serious Competitors Train Here.
At Rebellion, every adult class is led by a black belt instructor with a curriculum that stays ahead of the curve — because Coach Jaime competes at the world level and brings that back to the mat every single week.
And if you've never trained a day in your life? You're in the right place too.
