Rebel Jiu Jitsu

Rebel Jiu Jitsu in Eagan, Minnesota, is led by Professor Tim Blackstone, a black belt with a long history in the art. Tim began training in 2005 while serving in the US Army in Korea and earned his black belt in 2015 under the Alliance banner. He has competed extensively, earning medals at major IBJJF tournaments throughout his purple, brown, and black belt years. Tim also holds degrees in Psychology and Business Administration and lives locally with his family. Classes at Rebel Jiu Jitsu focus on traditional gi training as the core, with no-gi sessions available as well. The academy offers structured programs for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, including women’s classes and dedicated kids’ classes. Kids start training at a young age and progress through a belt system designed to build skills steadily. Adult classes typically begin with warm-ups and drills before moving to technique instruction and live rolling to apply what’s learned. The gym maintains a respectful atmosphere where students are expected to come prepared with clean gear and a good attitude. Safety and hygiene are emphasized, and the facility is wheelchair accessible. Rebel Jiu Jitsu’s schedule includes beginner-focused classes as well as advanced training and open mat time, providing a place for students to develop their skills at their own pace under experienced guidance.
