Alex & Caity made our small group feel so welcomed as we took their self defense class! The class was very engaging & informative!! I highly recommend them!

Walking into an ongoing Krav Fundamentals class when I’ve only experienced a couple self defense classes was a bit daunting - especially realizing that the other participants have been working together for awhile.I am so glad I didn’t let that keep me from trying out the free class. I’ve reached out to other Krav gyms I’ve in the area and got a BS hard sell about picking the “right package” for my “fitness journey”. Rogue is not that kind of place and that fact alone makes them stand out - they are there to help and train people and they care about the people.Caity is a warm and welcoming instructor as well as an adept fighter. Very encouraging and so were the other members. I’m hooked!

Alex and Caity gave a free class at the womens center and I learned so much in just the first few minutes and left feeling so empowered. I am so grateful to them for their time and for answering our questions with real depth answers and demonstrations. They really cared that we were performing the techniques correctly.

Awesome instructors! Love the class variety and the fact that they give you real-world skills. They have great yoga classes as well as Krav maga, plus they do cool glow and women’s empowerment events! Highly recommend!

I have been training with Caity and Alex for over 5 years. They have pushed me beyond what I believed were my limits. They have cheered me on in little steps (realizing I can learn to do burpees) and in big accomplishments (returning to training after open heart surgery). I started training in my late 40s and extremely over weight really worried that I would not be able to keep up. The instructors at Rogue have been key elements in my weight loss and in my overall health. I have developed the skills to avoid being a target and to avoid many situations.Rogue Self Defense is a welcoming and supportive environment for a novice and experienced student. Caity and Alex know how to adapt their instruction to fit the students in class. You will leave covered in sweat and in confidence.I have had the pleasure of participating in several of the yoga classes offered at Rogue. This is now a regular part of my training and fitness routine. The instructors are attentive and encouraging. I feel that I can enjoy class, ask questions and push my personal physical boundaries.

As a female that often has a little one with me, that could be considered a big distraction and opportunity for someone who doesn’t have good intentions. I knew I needed to do something. Krav Maga has helped increase my situational awareness and confidence in protecting myself and loved ones. I have learned to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Training is not only a great workout but also a lot of fun. I have trained with Caity White and Alex Ocasio for over 4 years. They are both amazing instructors. The classes are fun, challenging and you always walk away with new tools. They take away any intimidation you might feel for trying something out of your comfort zone. It is a great community to be a part of.Rogue offers many forms of physical fitness. Yoga is offered multiple times a week. Each class has a different instructor which is great because they use different styles. They are great at helping everyone feel comfortable and adapt to any specific needs.If you are looking for somewhere to train mentally and physically this is the place. Alex and Caity are passionate about helping and empowering others.

I love training with Caity and Alex! They are not only wonderfully warm, welcoming individuals, but they are both excellent instructors. I picked up Krav Maga in my mid-40s because I realized Im a freezer. I needed to learn how to retrain my brain to act in dangerous situations. Im petite, about 5-feet tall. I was skeptical at first that I would be able to physically compete with someone much larger than me until I saw Caity fight. We are close to the same size, and she is a fierce, agile fighter as well as a fantastic instructor! Whenever we are practicing a technique in class that is likely not suitable for someone my size, Caity always has another tactic to share so I can discover what works best for me.Alex exudes passion and excitement that is contagious to his students. He is sincerely concerned with helping each student, regardless of skill level, not only improve every time they step into his class but also have fun and build confidence. Caity and Alex both possess a natural ability to provide feedback and instruction without undermining confidence, which is one of the most crucial characteristics of a good teacher. Ive never left one of Alex or Caitys classes without feeling better about myself and looking forward to the next class. Im willing to drive an hour or more to train with Caity and Alex because they offer a challenging, safe, fun environment where I feel comfortable letting go of my personal insecurities in order to learn and become more adept and confident at protecting myself in the event of an attack or dangerous situation.I also love that Rogue offers other forms of fitness such as yoga and strength training. Caity and Alex have created a space where I can grow stronger and healthier mentally and physically. Rogue feels like a second home.
