Ryan Harrison
"Great program with age appropriate instruction. My 6 year old son has grown in athleticism, discipline, and motivation in just a couple of months. He’s excited every time he goes to class."
Billy Polihronakis
"I recently joined RADA Jiu Jitsu, and as someone new to the academy, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, everyone has been incredibly friendly and welcoming. The instructors and higher belts take the time to help me, and their patience has made a huge difference in my learning. The higher belts are always willing to share their knowledge and have been instrumental in teaching me new techniques. It’s not only rewarding but also a great way to improve my flexibility and stamina. I feel like I’m progressing every day, and the support from the entire team is amazing. I highly recommend RADA Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking for a positive and supportive environment to train. It’s an excellent place for both beginners and advanced students alike."
