"rick wetherell is a champion at both jiu jitsu and teaching. i can't endorse rick and his gym enough. i've trained at kingdom for 6 months, ramping up slowly while recovering from illness. rick, his other instructors, as well as the gym members, welcomed me and continue to coach me up every step of the journey. i've gained strength, confidence, and ability through their encouragement and dedication. give this gym a try. stick with it as you ramp up for a few months. you will not regret it."
Calvin Houle
"I’ve been training with Ricky Wetherell for over 3 years now and he has always been a great instructor. He is a world champion ibjjf competitor and it shows. Very close attention to detail and I’ve watched him take complete beginners and turn them into very talented grapplers. Highly recommend."
Benjamin Westrich
"The only place I'd train and bring my family to. Great environment, awesome instructor and instruction, while also being a great price. If you are reading reviews to find somewhere to train, stop and come here, you'll see for yourself immediately."
