Travis Loan

Adult’s Coach | Wrestling for JiuJitsu | Blue Belt

“For me, jiu-jitsu has become about much more than learning how to protect myself. It’s a place where I’m constantly reminded to stay humble, keep learning, and get comfortable being uncomfortable.

I love that no matter your age, experience, or ability, there is always something to improve. Jiu-jitsu challenges me physically and mentally, but more importantly, it has given me a community of people who push each other to become better on and off the mats.

At this stage of my life, I’m not trying to prove anything. I just want to keep showing up, keep growing, and enjoy the journey with some great people along the way.”

Cody Rosson

Kids and Adults Coach | Blue Belt

“I've been a grappler for most of my life. After years of wrestling, I wanted to find something that felt familiar while still challenging me to learn and grow. That search led me to Roughstock JiuJitsu. Initially, I stepped onto the mat to try something new and stay in shape, but it quickly became much more than that.

The mats have become my escape from the stresses of everyday life. No matter what kind of day I've had at work, the noise fades away the moment I start training. JiuJitsu demands my full attention and allows me to be completely present.

The community has become just as important as the sport itself. The people I share the mats with have become like family, and I get just as excited watching their successes as I do my own. Seeing a teammate achieve a goal they've worked hard for is one of the best feelings.

One of the biggest things JiuJitsu has reinforced for me is my passion for coaching. Whether its helping kids learn the basics or seeing someone gain confidence in their abilities, being a small part of their growth is incredibly rewarding. Watching people develop both on and off the mat is something I never take for granted.

Most importantly, it has given me the opportunity to share this journey with my two daughters. Watching their confidence grow and seeing them develop skills that can benefit them for a lifetime has been one of the greatest joys of my life. JiuJitsu is no longer just a hobby or a way to stay active. It's a community, a source of personal growth, a way to serve others, and a passion that I hope to share for many years to come.”
