"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."
