"I recently started training BJJ with Ricardo Rezende and I really enjoy his classes . Ricardo is very knowledgeable and professional. He makes sure that every student is learning and practicing correctly and safely and he is able to keep a very respectful yet fun environment. I highly recommend his class for everyone."

"I tried a couple gyms in the area and this is by far the best. The instructor really knows what he’s teaching and the atmosphere in the gym is a great learning environment. He answers questions and takes his time going over techniques for new students. As a newcomer, I felt respected and got great rolls. I would recommend this place to any student looking for a BJJ gym in the area."

"Ricardo is an extremely knowledgeable instructor. I have done martial arts in the past, but this was my first experience with BJJ and grappling in general. Ricardo catered to each student and made sure to clarify any questions as they came up. The amount of knowledge I gained in one class was amazing. I left with a strong foundation in bridging and guard feeling confident that I could already begin to apply it. I will definitely be back."
