More About Coach Dennis
I currently own Street Jitsu, an MMA gym in Roanoke, TX. I opened for business in April 2012 and have been helping athletes with their fighting, fitness and health goals ever since. I have coached at the local and international level. I work with ages 3yrs old and up! I have some clients over 70 years old. I'm certified under the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation.
19 years of boxing experience. 8 Years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Wrestling, MMA training & Fitness instruction. 2-0 MMA (Cage Fighting Record). Multiple Time BJJ Champion. Dennis currently trains at Ironside Martial Arts under coaches Bret Bosler and Sina Hadad. Happily married to his beautiful high school sweetheart for 13 years. Proud father of 3 amazing children.
No Experience Necessary: I am able to train you regardless of your size, age, experience level or athletic ability. Well, first of all, I offer the option of coming to you. I can get you in shape and teach you self defense at the same time and at your location! Whether you sign up to attend our group classes or private lessons we can teach you how to fight and defend yourself!
All of our instructors currently train and compete in local, national and world competitions. We practice what we teach on a competitive level, so we know what works and what doesn't. I also continue to study, train & develop better skills and techniques to help our clients surpass their goals.

Daniel S. (Testimonial)
Hey Dennis, I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to join your gym. I wish I started 20 years ago but your gym helped jump start my weight loss, which I don't know if I would have been able to lose otherwise. I now have lost 44 pounds and my goal is to drop another 46. Again thank you and have a Happy New Year!!!- Daniel S.
Anita S. (Testimonial)
We love being a part of your team!! These classes have changed my kids for the better and we have you to thank.- Anita S.
Simon B. (Testimonial)
I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Dennis Thomas from Street Jitsu a few months ago and he has brought my game to a whole different level. Everyone at the gym I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with has told me how rapidly my skills have improved and I accredit that to the great instruction I have received from Dennis. Training with Street Jitsu has drastically improved my skills as a martial artist and I am happy with the progress that I have made and will make in the future. Thank you Street Jitsu and Dennis for all that you have done for me.- Simon B.
David S., MD (Testimonial)
Due to a rigorous work schedule and unpredictable hours, I have always found it difficult to attend MMA classes with any consistency. When I discovered Street-Jitsu, offering private training at my home and sessions that work around my schedule, I knew it was perfect for me. My son and I are having a great time training with Vince. We are training twice a week and I really feel like both my standup game and my BJJ game are making major strides. I find myself eating better, feeling healthier, and definitely have improved my endurance, and lost a few lbs. I am constantly looking forward to my next training session and my passion for jiu-Jitsu has been re-ignited. I have also been amazed at how much my 5 yr old son has picked up. Vince is very patient with him and a great instructor. Street-Jitsu has exceeded my expectations in every way!- David S., MD
Jason F. (Testimonial)
Dennis, I am extremely happy with the way things are going with the Mixed Martial Arts instruction. You are a great teacher and I know I would not have come this far if I did not enjoy you and your sessions as much as I do. I respect you, like you and learn from you. What more could I want from a teacher?- Jason F.
Teresa T. (Testimonial)
Since my son has started the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, he has developed so many positive skills that he can encompass on a daily basis. I am very proud of my son for the way he now presents himself. I truly believe the Jiu-Jitsu program has made my son a better person. He has learned to stay focused more at home and also in the classroom; he has more self-confidence in himself with routine tasks and obstacles that may come his way; and he has become more respectful of himself and others, including his younger sister. He has also learned to take responsibility for his own actions and own up to any mistakes he makes.- Teresa T.
Kaitlin S. (Testimonial)
My kids and I love training together with your instructors. Meeting us at our home is so convenient with 4 kids.- Kaitlin S.
Mark V. (Testimonial)

Alejandro M. (Testimonial)
My family has been profoundly affected by street jiu jitsu. We have been blessed to be fortunate enough to be part of such a great place. So much so that when I attend, the whole family attends, the training exceeds that of just jiu jitsu, and my children have been influenced in a positive way. Nothing can remove the skills and experiences we have acquired with coach Dennis. -Alejandro M.
Brent C. (Testimonial)
There is no place in or nearby Roanoke that provides level of martial art & self-defense instruction that Street Jitsu does. There are so many classes and times available to meet most any need. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly. I've been able to learn Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling at my own pace and schedule. its great! You really can't beat the value for what you receive.- Brent C.
David W. (Testimonial)
I have known Dennis both personally and professionally for around 8 years. He is very personable and has a wealth of martial arts knowledge. If you live in the area and want to try out his school, you can't go wrong with Dennis and his school, Street Jitsu!- David W.
Kevin S. (Testimonial)
Dennis is a true martial artist with an abundance of knowledge and competition experience. He has the excellent ability to share and break down the technical components of the arts. He also has unbelievable drive and an unquenchable thirst to learn and better himself. Hidden gem- Kevin S.
