Roy Rolstad came up through Roger Gracie Academy Oslo at Vallhall Arena, training under Paulo Peixoto in the Roger Gracie / Gracie Humaitá lineage. His brown belt arrived in March 2019, and his ledger from there is the kind of plain, honest competition record that paints a real picture: 17 verified matches, 11 wins and 6 losses, and 6 medals.
His Master-division success at the IBJJF European Championships is where his Roger Gracie line shows up most cleanly — the patient, posture-driven style the academy is known for, applied at the European level by a Norwegian competitor with a measurable record rather than a marketing one.
In a Norwegian BJJ map where Roger Gracie Academy Oslo holds the entire RGA flag almost on its own, Rolstad is one of the senior coloured belts who turned the affiliation into an actual competition presence on the continental circuit.
