Emilia Colon
"The Rivaldo JR BJJ Academy is the best BJJ/MMA/Muay Thai academy in all of San Antonio! Professor Rivaldo has the best teachings for all skill levels and his black belt expertise is extremely proficient! I just recently started JiuJitsu, not really thinking much of it, but the more I trained, the more I found myself interested in getting better. The team welcomed me the first day and treated me as family. Within the first 4 months i lost 25 pounds coming 3 days a week! If you're searching for a fun, intense, physical workout for the whole family, this is the Academy for you!"
