What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Gene Fought
"As the owner of a Jiu-Jitsu academy in a nearby state, with over a decade of experience in the art, I’ve had the privilege of visiting and training at numerous academies across the country. Robert stands out as not only an exceptional instructor but also an outstanding human being. His dedication to the Jiu-Jitsu community is inspiring, and his humanitarian efforts in the broader community truly set him apart. Highly recommend training with him and supporting his initiatives!"
Andrew Nicholson
"I have trained under coach Rob and this academy name for nearly ten years. The team trains hard, supports everyone in their training and is a family friendly environment welcoming of everyone. I can’t say enough good things about the relationships I have created through the opportunity riverbend had given me. This gym trains hard and has fun doing so."
Jamie Limato
"Amazing place. Been a great place for my family to train and learn. Thankful for Rob and all the instructors that come through. Truly a family."
Megan Simpson
"Started training here a little over a year ago. Absolutely love this place!!! The people are great and the kids have so much fun!! Never had any issues with skin infections or cleanliness. As a licensed nail tech, hygiene when being around other feet and hands is super important to me!! The coaches are knowledgeable and can give you more one on one time if needed. Definitely worth it!!!"
