What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Carroll Roberts
"Dropped in during my stay in Albany. Prof. Bruno was very friendly and welcoming. Clean facilities, technical drilling and great rolls with everyone. Look forward to doing it again. Ouss"
Dan Senecal
"I signed up for my first class on Monday, and had never done anything like this in the past. Everyone I have encountered there has been super welcoming, especially to such a newbie. Bruno has been great, and breaks down everything perfectly for someone like me with no experience. I encourage everyone to try it out, and I anticipate being here for the long haul!"
Nikolaos De Maria
"Visited from HQ. Extremely high quality instruction—on par or possibly better than what I have experienced at HQ and other RG affiliates in the city. Large but controlled class. Members seem committed and skilled. Highly recommend as home base for anyone in the greater Albany area."
Deshawn Casseus
"Great place to train I been here for years and will say it been an honor. I’ve learned so much about myself. The training is great and the people here are really welcoming. I can’t imagine training anywhere else. They have helped me gain high levels of skills in many competitions and gave me the confidence to compete at a high level. Anyone looking for a place to train I would highly recommend."
