“With his ‘connection’ to Taka Watanabe, Rickson & Kron Gracie and his unique understanding combined the way he articulates the breakdown of the technique with the ‘Sensitivity to movement & connection’ he is never content with his abilities and is continually striving to reach a better understanding of knowledge in the Martial Art.

The last 10-12 years of my training journey with Jason, and everything I have learnt along the way has impacted the way I understand and now coach my students.

Jason is committed to creating a culture on and off the mat so that all students are the best version they can be.

Axis of Excellence is the continual pursuit of pure technique!”

“Jason Roebig is one of the best BJJ brains out there. I swear that every training with him is like a whole BJJ seminar. His way of pointing out vital details is the best that I have ever encountered. I often leave his training buzzing and not being able to sleep thinking over what I have learned and realizing that I still have so much to learn.

Jason often makes me feel like a white belt in the good sense of this phrase, where I realize that there is so much more of BJJ that I can learn which will improve my game (a sentiment shared by a lot of BJJ fighters who ever trained with Jason) . Also, what needs to be mentioned about Jason is his ability to negate opponents' physical strength via the concept "connection"...I personally guarantee that every BJJ practitioner regardless of the belt/age/physical abilities will benefit greatly from this concept of connection.

I hope to see you guys at Jason's training.”

“Not all masters make great teachers of their craft. I believe that holds true in any discipline. During my career I have known brilliant surgeons who were poor teachers. Although great movers themselves, they were unable to break their complex movements down into smaller fragments that can be readily taught. BJJ and surgery are not dissimilar. They are both complex movement disciplines with long learning curves. Good teachers in such disciplines are hard to find.

It takes a lot more than inspiring students with technical skill. That’s the easy part. It also takes more than just passion for the discipline itself. All masters need passion to reach their level of technical proficiency. A good teacher also needs to be patient, observant and a good communicator. They also need to strike the difficult balance between demanding perfection while still encouraging their students to progress.

Great teachers however, have all those qualities and something more. They have a deep understanding and love for the learning process itself. They are humble enough to accept that they themselves are still learning. In my opinion Professor Roebig fits in the great teacher category. He also has that rare gift of giving his students what they need exactly when they need it. I have lost count of those moments when he sprinkles around bits of gold dust and you ask yourself why I didn’t see it sooner. The answer is always because I wasn’t ready for it. I have been his student for over a decade and he is comfortably the equal of the best teachers I had in my 16 years of training to be a plastic surgeon.

If you are serious about total immersion in the world of BJJ then look no further, Jason is your man.”
