What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Caitlin Williams
"My son started attending classes here twice a week. He has done baseball, soccer, basketball you name it. He didn’t care for any of them. I found River City Wresting online and gave it a shot. They are very professional and give individual attention to each child. He has been getting weekly physical activity, interacting with kids of various ages, as well as learning self defense. He enjoys it and I am thankful for their commitment and services."
Ian Dulmage
"I have been attending jiujitsu classes for a few months and love the atmosphere and coaching. Everyone is extremely welcoming and the classes are good for all skill levels. Christian, the owner, does a great job of communicating with members too!"
