Ryan Nawrocki
"Started my daughter at RGRI about 4 months ago. The coaches are all dedicated, encouraging and very professional. It feels like family when you walk through the door. Everyone always says hello with a smile and they all truly care. The facility is clean. Professor Marcelo always says hello to all the parents and makes you and your kids feel welcomed. It is evident how much he cares about his facility, and his craft. I am very appreciative of how much my daughter has learned so far and I truly love it here."

"Started training here back at the beginning of March 2021 and haven't regretted my decision on join this gym once. I have been attending the white belt class 3 times a week. Professor Cruz is an awesome teacher/mentor and all around great guy. He takes the time to make sure his students are learning and being pushed a little harder each day to grow into a better version of themselves. You can tell he actually cares for all of his students. This school has been one of the most welcoming communities I have ever had the pleasure of joining. From day one everyone made me feel like I belong and am part of this family."
Christian Delgado
"Cant go wrong joining the family of people who attend this facility. You feel a part of it the moment you step through the doors. This facility is led by the most knowledgeable instructor in Rhode Island, he is extremely humble person and treats everyone like family. By far the beat decision I made, its truly life changing. You will not regret it!!!"
Gin Mack
"We were visiting family in RI, from VA. We are members of Gracie Barra Ashburn, Virginia. My teens really wanted to train at a local gym and we found Renzo Gracie in Smithfield, RI. The kids were very excited and Renzo Gracie did not disappoint. Professor Marcelo graciously welcomed us for a class. The facility was clean, bright open and everyone was very nice. The class size was good and very diverse. My daughter had another teen girl and two ladies to work with and the men were of various sizes, ages and levels. We would highly recommend this school and will definitely be back when we are in town."
