What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Sean
"Robert Hugus offers top level instruction and training at RHBJJ. Through my travels I have dropped in or trained at quite a few places and RHBJJ is hands down one of the best around. The gym is very clean and the other students are very welcoming and skilled. Rob Hugus is one of the best coaches in the business. I cannot recommend this GYM enough."
Blaze Cartelli
"Robert's gym and instruction are fantastic. I was visiting from out of town and was met with a very warm welcome from both Robert and his students. The class itself and techniques taught were top notch, and the friendly familial environment was very easy to step right into. Thank you to Robert and Team for a great experience, looking forward to coming back to train here my next trip."
Drew Davinack
"My first BJJ academy. As an educator, I appreciated how structured every session was. Sensei Robert was everything you'd expect in a premium teacher: patient, engaging and has the ability to break complex concepts and techniques down to the finest detail and have it resonate with practictioners of all levels. After I left the North Country, I attended several academies in the New England including some of the more popular ones like Renzo Gracie and Tim's but none came close to that level of quality at RHBJJ. And if that wasn't enough...the entire community is tightly knit and supportive. Absolutely zero toxicity in this dojo. If you want to try out bjj and you live in the region, this is the premier place for it."
Nicole Fagen
"Great vibe and fabulous training! Robert and his team welcomed me in to their gym while I was in the area visiting. Great instruction, wonderful people to roll with and a good time. If you are thinking about trying BJJ or already love training, I highly recommend you check out Robert's gym!"
