RM Elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu-Next Generation MMA Van Alstyne

RM Elite Brazilian Jiu Jitsu-Next Generation MMA Van Alstyne offers a structured program for students of all ages, with a curriculum that balances traditional gi training and no-gi classes. The academy divides its kids’ program into two groups: Kids BJJ for ages 5–7 and Youth BJJ for ages 8–13, both featuring dedicated no-gi instruction. Adult students can choose between gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with classes that cover fundamentals and provide a clear path for progression. The schedule also includes homeschool-friendly no-gi sessions, open mat times, and adult striking classes, giving members a range of ways to train and develop. Head instructor Roger Myers II leads the school with over a decade of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Myers began his journey with Next Generation MMA in 2011, joining the instructor program in 2013 and earning his black belt in 2020 under the guidance of founder Chris Brennan, a 5-stripe black belt and veteran of the sport. After first opening a school in Anna, Texas, Myers adapted to the challenges of 2020 by teaching out of his home, eventually establishing a permanent location for RM Elite in Van Alstyne. The academy’s roots in the Next Generation MMA lineage provide a strong foundation, while Myers’ personal experience shapes an approach focused on steady growth and practical skill development. Classes at RM Elite are designed to be approachable for newcomers while maintaining the discipline and structure that define Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Students are encouraged to support one another as they train, with the goal of building both technical ability and personal confidence. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and drop-ins are welcome for most sessions, making it easy for visitors to experience the academy’s programs firsthand.
