Two jiu-jitsu practitioners moving through a standing exchange

The Rollin’ Club · Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu · Berlin-Mitte

EVERYBODY
CAN ROLL

RUN BY OUR
MEMBERS.

We’re a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu club in Berlin, organised as a member-led non-profit association.

Our classes range from fundamentals to advanced training, with plenty of live rolling. You’ll find competitors and hobbyists on the mats alike. Higher belts regularly train with and support beginners.

There’s no owner or corporate structure. Membership fees cover the space, members coach, and the people who show up shape the club’s direction.

GET ON
THE MATS.

Come by for a class, roll with our members, and see whether our community feels like the right fit.

STANDING / CONNECTION
MON19:30–21:00BJJ GiAll levels

The full game with gi grips: collars, sleeves, lapels. A technique block builds into positional sparring, then free rolls to finish. Everybody trains with everybody, and rounds are matched to your level and intensity.

BRING Clean gi, belt, mouthguard.
TUE19:00–21:00No-Gi / Submission WrestlingAll levels

BJJ without the gi: hand-fighting, takedowns, positional work and submission grappling, taught through a safe, structured progression. Expect more wrestling and faster scrambles than in the gi classes.

BRING Rashguard, shorts or spats, mouthguard.
WED08:00–09:00BJJ FoundationsBeginners welcome

Start here if you're new. One structured hour: a short warm-up, two or three connected techniques, then guided partner drilling. Sparring is introduced step by step, and you decide when you join in. Higher belts drop in to keep their fundamentals sharp.

BRING Gi and no-gi are both okay. No kit yet? Shorts, a t-shirt and water.
THU19:30–21:00BJJ GiAll levels

COACHES.

Our coaches train alongside the community and teach through a shared, structured curriculum. All of them still train, still compete and still tap.

ETIQUETTE.

None of this is ceremony for its own sake. Every line here exists because somebody once got hurt, got sick, or made the room worse.

  1. 01

    Respect everyone

    Everyone should feel safe and welcome on the mat. Discrimination, harassment and deliberately unsafe training have no place in the club.

  2. 02

    Come clean

    Gi, rashguard, spats, belt: washed after every session. You too: showered, nails cut, jewellery off. A gi that smells is a gi that stays home.

  3. 03

    Shoes off the mat, feet off the floor

    Never walk barefoot outside the mat area. Slippers at the mat edge. The mat is clean; the city is not.

  4. 04

    Tap early, tap often

    Tapping is information, not defeat. Tap to the position before it becomes an injury. Release the moment you feel or hear a tap.

  5. 05

    Take care of your partner

    Your partner is the reason you get better. No spiking, no cranking, no ego. Injuries, illness, a first day: say it before you roll.

  6. 06

    Be on time, then listen

    Warm-up starts on time. If you are late, wait at the mat edge until the coach waves you on. When the coach talks, the drilling stops.

  7. 07

    If you’re sick, stay home

    Skin infections, fever, open cuts: no mat time. Cover small cuts with tape and clean the mat if you bleed on it.

  8. 08

    Everyone cleans up

    Mats swept, bottles and tape gone, nothing left at the mat edge. Training ends when the room is clean, and that goes for every belt.

If you are unsure about anything, whether a rule, a technique or a person: talk to a coach. That is what we are on the mat for.
