What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Andy Logan
"I was visiting the area and dropped in for a class. Coach Phil and his students were very welcoming. Coach Phil was very hands on and passionate when teachings the moves. I enjoyed learning the moves as well as the jiu Jitsu theory that coach Phil included. I couldn’t have had a better experience as a visitor and would love to come back."
Bijon Bose
"I have been training in various martial arts throughout my life, and Coach Phil is by far one of the most knowledgeable and welcoming coaches I have ever met. Additionally, everybody who trains under him is extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend White Rhino to everybody, whether it's your first day on the mat or you're a world champion."
Joshua Liedtke-Armstrong
"Was looking for a school to train in bjj, kick boxing in the lexington va area and I found this gem! Coach Phil is awesome and I look forward to learning under him and competing in fights with him in my corner!"
Cloud Valtierrez
"Y‘all should know that training under Coach Phil is a huge opportunity! he is a caring awesome coach that is profoundly knowledgeable in several Martial arts. His teachings are simple yet completely well explained and efficient [where as the do work on the real world] and he makes it really fun to attend to the classes [not pg13]. Be prepared to become addicted to BJJ if this is your first experience. I wish he never left Vegas, So y’all should take advantage of having him there. I am a white belt 40 YO woman 9 months in and had the fortune to learn under him and be part of the White Rhino/Asylum family. After he left Vegas I have been roaming several schools and I compare what I have learned under Phil while rolling with other white&blue belts and I feel super advanced in comparison, I am proud of my techniques and at times I wonder if I am being too mean using pressure. Best coach ever, I mean it."
