About RM Elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

About Us, At RM Elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we genuinely believe that Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone. This means you won’t find a hard-nosed, overwhelming environment where only competitors are welcome. Our BJJ classes are designed to help newcomers ease into training while constantly learning and bettering themselves. We’ll never push students into something they’re not ready for, but we’ll definitely push them to keep trying and put in the work to reach their goals.

Our History

RM Elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Owner and head instructor Roger Myers II has more than a decade of Jiu-Jitsu experience. Drawing from his own experiences to build his school’s curriculum and environment. As a Next Generation MMA affiliate, RM Elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is rooted in more than two decades of history. Founded in 1998 by 5 stripe black belt and MMA veteran Chris Brennan. Next Generation MMA has grown to include multiple affiliation locations worldwide.

RM Elite owner and head instructor Roger Myers II first connected with Next Generation as a student, beginning his Jiu-Jitsu journey there in 2011. After earning his blue belt in 2012. Myers went on to join Brennan’s Instructor Program in 2013. Fast forward to 2015 and Myers had his first experience running a martial arts school, opening Next Generation MMA in Anna, Texas with Clark Miller.

Ultimately earning his black belt in January 2020, Myers was soon faced with a tough business obstacle when Covid-19 hit.

Despite being forced to shut down Next Generation in May 2020. Myers pivoted and began teaching BJJ out of his home as an alternative. And this is where RM Elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was born. After continually growing his student base and finding temporary homes for teaching along the way, Myers is thrilled to now have a permanent home in Van Alstyne, Texas for RM Elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a Next Generation MMA affiliate.

Roger is a great coach! He has the patience and knowledge to approach each student at the level and pace needed. The entire coaching team is very friendly and easy to work with. Everyone is there to lift each other up. When it comes to training the kiddos, Roger understands the important role he plays when it comes to mentoring them. He does so while still providing a fun atmosphere for the kids to develop their passion for the sport and enjoy their time learning. My kids absolutely love going to their BJJ classes and Roger has become a close friend to the entire family. The gym is growing and has amazing potential because of the awesome work the team is doing. I highly recommend them.
