De La Riva BJJ

"On July 10, this past Sunday, I had the privilege of witnessing a belt promotion ceremony at De La Riva BJJ academy. I have to say it was inspirational on so many fronts. The first thing that stood out was the sense of family and camaraderie. I’ve seen other academies have a strong sense of family but not at this level. This academy takes it to an entirely new height. The family atmosphere observed was refreshing. All students and coaches help one another in a very caring and sincere way. Self improvement and the advancement of Individual Jiu Jitsu skills are the focus while perpetuating a family environment. The second thing that definitely stood out was each students knowledge of the fundamental Jiu Jitsu skills they were asked to perform. All students, even the kids performed basic and advanced skills for the test efficiently. It was impressive to say the least. I have to say no matter what level whether beginner or advanced this school is head and shoulders above others. I highly recommend taking classes here."

"I was in town visiting family and just wanted to find a place to roll while out of town. I couldn’t be happier to have stumbled upon this gem. Professor Joe is a genuinely good person. Professor Joe and professor Ricky are both incredible instructors. I felt like I was part of the family within the first 5 minutes of being there. Everyone I rolled with was positive, constructive, and open to looking at multiple concepts of moves and series. If you are looking for a family environment look no further, I can’t wait to come back!!!"

"I been training with professor Iury and Coach Joe for the last 5 years. I couldn’t ask for a better BJJ family. Iury and Joe always been professional and great communicators. School is well maintained and clean."

"The professor Joe was very inviting and welcoming! I’m visiting family and needed a place to train while in town. All of the students were friendly and know how to turn up the pressure for some fun rolls. Appreciate the hospitality from all the training partners and professor. Hope to back soon for another visit"
