"I have been training with Ricardo at Los Angeles Jiu Jitsu Academy for over a year and a half. Ricardo is an incredible instructor. He has trained under Rickson and Kron Gracie for several years and knows the fundamentals of Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Ricardo has the ability to teach those fundamentals to his students so they can develop the skills necessary to meet their training goals. I would highly recommend anyone interested in learning Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to train at the LA Jiu Jitsu Academy with Ricardo."
Aaron Elliott
"If you're looking for an amazing Jiu Jitsu gym, look no further! Ricardo is one of the best instructors on the planet—his teaching style is incredibly effective, breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and apply. The training partners here are equally exceptional—everyone is respectful, mindful of each other's experience levels and size, which creates a safe and welcoming environment for all. Highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to improve their Jiu Jitsu skills!"
