The last gym I trained at closed and it was between Richardson Jiu Jitsu and another local school. After visiting both it was obvious which one I should join. In fact, within a week I wished I had started at RJJ from the beginning. From the top tier instruction to the hard rolls, I continue to be challenged and look forward to every class. Also, the gym vibes are second to none. I’ve built some of the closest friendships I have since I’ve been here.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu has been one of the most fun and rewarding things I’ve ever tried. It’s challenging in the best way—you’re constantly learning, pushing yourself, and seeing real progress. What really makes it stand out is coach Rob and the atmosphere of the gym is super welcoming, whether you’re brand new or experienced, and everyone genuinely wants to help you get better. Rob does an amazing job breaking things down so it actually makes sense, while still pushing you to improve every class. It’s a great workout, a great community, and something you’ll actually look forward to showing up for. Highly recommend if you’re thinking about trying it!

After nearly a year of training here, it’s time to give this gym the five stars it deserves. Several people I trust recommended Rob’s gym, and they were absolutely right. This is the first place where the structure and progression truly make sense. I’ve trained in MMA gyms and at academies around the world. When I tried to transition strictly to BJJ, I often found it overwhelming and hard to stick with. The complexity never fully clicked for me. But from the very first class here, I could tell this was different. I’ve never had the curriculum click like it does under Rob. What truly sets this gym apart is his teaching. He doesn’t just demonstrate techniques; he teaches systems. Each class builds logically on the last. He explains not only what to do, but why it works, when to use it, and how to adjust if it fails. He connects positions in a way that makes jiu jitsu feel intentional instead of random. He has a rare ability to break down complex sequences into simple, repeatable concepts. He answers questions thoroughly and often offers multiple perspectives based on body type, experience level, or goals. Just as important, the culture reflects his leadership. Technique is prioritized over ego, and teammates genuinely want to see each other improve; not compete in unhealthy ways. After double shoulder surgery and past experiences in gyms where internal competition led to unnecessary injuries and toxic environments, I honestly thought I was done training. This gym proved otherwise. If you’re looking for intelligent coaching, structured instruction, and a respectful team atmosphere, this is the place.

My daughter and I dropped in for an open mat and had a great time. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, with a solid mix of skill levels. Definitely worth checking out if you're nearby. 10/10

Amazing place to train, and with top tier coaching. I’ve been going for a little over 8 months and I’ve seen so much growth in my skill, and myself as a person. Coach Rob is extremely dedicated and passionate about jiu jitsu and it really shows through his coaching.
