Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu South Bend

“Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu is a very comfortable place to learn and Jiu Jitsu is incredibly fun to practice. The instructors are excellent and fellow students are very helpful to beginners. Everyone takes you under their wing and helps you come up to speed. The atmosphere is light and you will get a great workout! They offer kid's classes too! The kid's instructors are great. The classes are very up beat. You will be amazed at what your kid can do! And you will want to try it too.”

“Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu here in Mishawaka has great people who live as martial artists. The atmosphere is simple and clean with no clutter. Gary & Jack were both super pleasant and skilled at teaching. Though I only had 1 opportunity to visit, I'd really like to come back to hang out with these guys. If you are looking for a great grappling school which you can call your "family", this is the place.”

“Definitely the most Premier Academy in the South Bend area. Gary has a rich history with his lineage and is very well respected across the country. He provides a very traditional approach to jiu-jitsu no watering down of the sport or funny business. He does not have contracts or charge for belt ranking. Like most other academies in the area. It is simple you put in the work you show up you get another belt tied around your waist when it is time and never before.”

“Great gym so far. No commitment like most other gyms just have to give him enough notice to cancel payment. Other places want you to commit for a year at least. Two BJJ black belts that I have seen so far. They have 2 classes everyday but Sunday so it fits moat schedule. Classes arent too big so there is enough one on one time with the instructor. Omly complaint is that the membership seems a bit high but there really isnt any place as good as this so its worth it for me.”

“An amazing place, Gary's experience and advanced teaching is of high quality. It is much more than an academy, its family and nothing is bought , everything is earned , by blood, sweat and tears. Nothing but respect for this academy, Gary Briscoe and the Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu organization! If you are looking for a place to train and learn at a high level then this is the place you need to be!”
