I began my Jiu-Jitsu journey a couple of years ago at River City Warriors and haven't regretted a moment. The extremely knowledgeable and skilled instructors focus on the foundations of the art and value respect for each other's goals and building each other up over blind competition and aggression. Although I've only participated in the adult Gracie Jiu-Jitsu classes, the school offers children's BJJ, women's only BJJ, Muay Thai, JKD and Kali as well; each of which offering the same supportive atmosphere and top notch instruction. If you've ever thought about stepping in to a martial art, learning self-defense, and building confidence while simultaneously developing friendships and finding a healthier self, I would highly recommend you give RCW a try. Thanks for everything RCW!
Extremely well rounded environment!
I took the Kali class. The instructor was excellent, the students were fun to train with. They have a very real family atmosphere there.
