RADA is a great gym. I’ve been training at RADA since I was little, and have had zero regrets. The professors are really helpful and want to see you succeed, while also helping you to build confidence.

Great program with age appropriate instruction. My 6 year old son has grown in athleticism, discipline, and motivation in just a couple of months. He’s excited every time he goes to class.

I recently joined RADA Jiu Jitsu, and as someone new to the academy, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, everyone has been incredibly friendly and welcoming. The instructors and higher belts take the time to help me, and their patience has made a huge difference in my learning. The higher belts are always willing to share their knowledge and have been instrumental in teaching me new techniques. It’s not only rewarding but also a great way to improve my flexibility and stamina. I feel like I’m progressing every day, and the support from the entire team is amazing. I highly recommend RADA Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking for a positive and supportive environment to train. It’s an excellent place for both beginners and advanced students alike.

Whenever I visit San Diego, I find time to visit Rada . There, you find a very nice environment, top quality Jiu-jitsu for all levels, and ages. The new facility is just behind the old one, Rada Academy is for sure one of the best places to be in San Diego.
