Lauren Byrne
"Such a great experience for all 3 of my kids. Ric makes the classes fun but also has the kids working hard. He is a great person and coach for my daughters and son to look up to. Highly recommend giving his classes a try."
Nick Harris
"Ric Centron BJJ is the place to go if you want to learn Jiu Jitsu and be a part of a Jiu Jitsu family. Ric has an amazing ability to break down key Jiu Jitsu concepts in a way that is easy to understand, my game has grown so much this past year and a half because of Ric! The family atmosphere that Ric has created makes it easy to hit the mats knowing that you've got great training partners that treat you like family! If you're looking for a great place to train, Ric Centron BJJ is the place to check out!"
Marco Garcia
"Great place for adults and kids! I joined in January and love the cardio, skills and camaraderie of the other students. My sons saw how much I was enjoying it and improving my confidence that they asked to join in June. The coach is an excellent teacher and my sons really love going to class and try to never miss a day. They especially like Friday kid classes where they play games. Highly recommend to all ages if you're looking to learn a new skill, get a great workout and have fun!"
Sup Thanasombat
"Ric is amazing with kids - fun, patient, and firm when needed. My kids love him and the other instructors there. They do a great job with all ages and accept kids as young as 4 years old. You can try out a FREE WEEK of classes (for kids or adults) - no strings attached and super fun. You should definitely check this place out!"
