Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Doral

“Dropped in for the competition gi class taught by professor Marcelo Herz. I was immediately welcomed and treated very well. It was a large class of advanced ranked athletes of all sizes and had the perfect mix of technique and rolling for a competition class. The most important thing I noticed was the gym culture was very healthy. My training partner James was a rad dude. Professors Marcelo and Francis were both class acts. Professor Marcelo and I had a very technical roll where he showcased some really beautiful jiujitsu, despite our weight discrepancy. Professor Francis took extra time with me after class to discuss all sorts of topics including ageing and parenting within the context of jiujitsu. Yah k you very much and I Highly recommend.”

“10/10! Sensei Marcelo and Francis are wonderful professionals that knows how to teach a class, explain the concept of what we are doing, and regardless of your level, they will take as long as you need to teach you the correct way! When I first started I was a little bit shy because I didn’t know anyone and it was a new environment , and I didn’t knew anything , so it was intimidating. Although in my first day I already felt like I belonged there, teachers and the students are open minded and super friendly. When you’re drilling with someone more experienced than you, they will do everything to help you out with whatever is troubling you, inside or outside the mat. The schedules are really flexible, so you can always fit a time on your day to go and train. It is also a great place to make friends! Highly recommend to anyone that has or has never trained before. I’ve been going to RG Doral for over 2 months now, and let me tell you it’s addicting. When class ends you’re already looking forward for the next one😂 I even got my girlfriend into it, she’s been going for a week now and loves it! -Ale🇧🇷”

“This is a really fun gym that has a good balance of competition practitioners and hobbiest all working together towards improving each other. Both Professor Marcelo and Francis are extreme professionals with a passion for pulling the most out of their athletes. They inspire a safe and professional culture that will be evident when you arrive. Highly recommend this gym for all levels.”

“Great place for kids , and adults alike to learn martial arts, Professor Francis, and Professor Marcelo are great at what they do , and they have a lot of patience for the young’s ones, great place for kids to learn discipline, and improve their physical health.”

“Visiting Miami for work and a friend invited me to join him. The instruction from Francis was great and only outdone by his welcoming demeanor and the amazing vibe of all the members. Everyone was kind, helpful, and friendly. Next time I’m in town I will definitely be coming back for more. Thanks for hosting and a great morning it training!”
