I am grateful to have found Living Arts BJJ. I have been training with Coach Ramses for a year now. I look forward to my hours of the week with him because of his dedicated and personal approach to teaching. He takes the time to find what does and doesn't resonate with me. Once he finds something that "clicks", he builds off of that. That has made the learning aspect far less daunting and turned it into one that is very rewarding. He is incredibly patient with his approach and often asks for questions and feedback--which, to me, is the sign of a great and confident teacher. I take both individual and group classes with him and find them both incredibly rewarding in their own ways. He has shown me that no matter your age or skill level, you can retain what he teaches and feel solid accomplishments and progress with each session. I appreciate there are a lot of options out there for BJJ, but Coach Ramses is the difference for me. My first year with him has flown by and I feel I have learned so much- on top of the incredible physical and mental workout I get. Because of him, I want to continue to learn for the long time. I'd HIGHLY recommend Coach Ramses and Living Arts BJJ to anyone--regardless of their age or skill level.

Living Art is an awesome gym. Ramses is putting together a great program. Some gyms can be intimidating to walk into, but Ramses has put together a group that makes you feel like part of the team when you walk in. If you pick this gym, you'll be challenged and improve your game and technique quickly. Highly recommend.

The classes are well-structured, focusing on technique, drilling, and live rolling, which has dramatically improved my kids skills and confidence on the mat.What really stands out is the attention to detail and the personalized feedback from the coaches. They genuinely care about your progress and make sure you understand the techniques being taught. The facilities are clean, and the atmosphere is always positive. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start or continue their BJJ journey!
