Ravensguard BJJ Academy

“Ravensguard is an amazing academy with superior instruction and attention to details in the arts. I highly recommend checking out the gym and seeing for yourself by trying a class. Everyone is very welcoming, and Professor John is excellent at explaining in many different ways for different types of learners. His instruction is very patient and exact, and you can tell he has a huge passion for the arts and skill. The team is like a family. Even if you are shy, you will likely find someone to strike up a conversation or a smile or laugh with. And as for the members and owners, the communication and respect are solid. They really care about the academy and each person's individual goals. We encourage and support each other.”

“My time at Ravensguard BJJ has been exceptional. Professor John George is very technical and mindful of all the variables that come into play when training the art. He makes it a point to ensure every student gets individual attention and will frequently give the opportunity to train/roll directly with him so he knows first hand where your strengths and weakness's are to help him give better instruction or advice based on the individual. Even in the physically demanding and often brutal enviornment that BJJ exists in; Professor John, the coaches, and the teammates make Ravensguard a comfortable place to feel at home while pushing eachother to be the best we can be. For anyone looking for an outstanding experience; Ravensguard BJJ should not be overlooked. We hope to see you on the mats!”

“My daughter began BJJ last summer. Professor John, Coach Terah and the rest of the academy have quickly become family. Not only has my daughter improved in her BJJ skills, she has made incredible friends. We are proud to be members!”

“My husband and son practice Jiu Jitsu here and have had a fantastic experience. Both are beginners and have been completely welcomed into this wonderful community. They have a great, hands-on kids program that’s good for all ages and levels. I would recommend anyone who is considering Jiu Jitsu to try out a class with Ravensguard!”

“It all starts at the top, with Professor John George. First, his accomplishments and levels of proficiency in several MA/MMA disciplines is daunting, but he exhibits a humble and accepting/inclusive demeanor, it's about the martial arts (and the excitement of learning), not him. He sets a tone of friendly and respectful discipline, unity, and honor. The Professor's long-time students and Assistant Instructors have studied under him and possess the same positive attitude, pride in their Academy, and respect and reverence for BJJ and Muay Thai. My fellow students are of varying experience levels, but ALL are part of the same team spirit, we are a "unit" working together and supporting each other. I am excited to be a new member of this prestigious Ravensguard BJJ Academy, and in a short time, I feel like my Instructors and fellow students are an extension of my close friends network, a "martial arts family". You can feel the vibe here, and we're part of something exceptional and very special indeed.”
