What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ryan Smith
"This is arguably the best school I’ve trained at in my 5-ish years practicing Jiu Jitsu. Rob is an observant coach that helps fine-tune even the smallest details of each member’s skill set. He holds people to high standards, but maintains a fun and inclusive atmosphere. You will work hard, but you will learn much and have a blast doing it. Great team! Great school! I’m glad I got to spend the last 6 weeks with you while in my travels and I can’t wait to return. I highly recommend that anyone who is serious about improving their game check out Richardson Jiu Jitsu!"
Ryder Clemmo
"Saturday morning's open mat was a true test! The live rounds were challenging and pushed me to my limits, but in the best way possible. It was a fantastic opportunity to apply what I'd learned and see where I needed to improve. Despite the intensity, the atmosphere remained positive and encouraging. We both feel incredibly fortunate to have been invited to attend Richardson Jiu-Jitsu. If you're looking for a top-notch gym with a welcoming environment and tough, rewarding training, look no further. Highly recommend! 10/10"
