Maegan Greenspan
"This place is amazing. My boys have played every sport but this is the only one where they always leave feeling more confident than they did walking in. My three year old just started as well and he loves it. The instructors are so personable and really provide a great environment for all the kids. I wish I would have signed them up sooner. Highly recommend."

"My name is Abdul, and RMA is a very good place with great coaches and amazing hospitality. Me and my brother Umar has been going there since November 2020, before 2020 we were going to the old gym before it was closed down, and now we are Grey Belts and also my 5 year old little brother also joined RMA in august along with his 2 friends/cousins and they been enjoying it ever since. I recommend you guys or your kids going there for Self-Defense and Fun times."

"RMA Jiu Jitsu in Brentwood is an outstanding place for the entire family! Whether you’re a kid, adult, or somewhere in between, this gym offers something for everyone. The instructors are top-notch—knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow, regardless of their experience level. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, making it easy for kids and adults alike to feel comfortable and excited to learn. For families, it’s a perfect environment. My kids have gained so much confidence, discipline, and respect from the classes, all while having a blast. The adult classes are equally impressive, providing a great workout and a deep dive into the art of Jiu Jitsu. If you’re looking for a place that treats you like family and helps you grow, RMA Jiu Jitsu is the place to be!"

"We have been proud parents of RMA Jiu Jitsu for 9 years now. We knew that the school had the best reputation in town, but it's one thing to hear about it, and it's another thing to experience it. We are greatly thankful to Professor Marcelo and Coach John for being such outstanding individuals. Such good role models. It is a local family owned business that pours their love and dedication into the kids. Their respect towards every single parent/Students is greatly appreciated. Kids don't just train here. They become a better person in many aspects of life. Thank you for being so dedicated, capable and thank you for your guidance to our children."
