What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Tiffany Skyberg

"My family and I love that it is a very family oriented gym. Coach Roger is a great instructor. The kids class really enjoy his direction and playful energy. My husband, myself and daughter are members of this gym and have learned so much while gaining a second family."

Nalani Keopuhiwa

"Great family gym! Both of my boys and myself have been training here since mid 2024 and love every minute of it. Coach Roger pushes us all to be a better version of ourselves while keeping the mood playful and fun. The kids classes are a great way to keep my boys active and to burn off excessive energy. The adult classes are as intense as you make it. Love the gym, love my teammates, plan to stay for as long as I can."

Chrissy Gonzalez

"We are so thankful we found Ruiz Grappling Academy! Coach Roger is amazing, knowledgeable, patient, and has a great sense of humor, with both the kiddos and adults. My husband, and my boys and I have been able to bond over learning Jiu Jitsu together at this gym and truly look forward to our times here. Coach Roger and Ashley make everyone feel welcome and have made the gym family one big happy family. We love it here!"

A Google User

"Our experience at Ruiz Grappling has been great. Our daughter felt comfortable, confident and welcomed since her first day. She has grown so much in just the a few months and has gained so much confidence. The Ruiz family has truly made this academy feel family oriented and show that they truly care about the youth. Our daughter has made the decision to continue her Jujitsu journey and we can not wait to see her flourish with the help and support of Ruiz Grappling Academy."
