I had been a huge MMA fan for some time, and felt I was way past my prime to start. He respects & understands that everyone is on their own journey & does an excellent job of facilitating training to match skill & fitness levels from beginners to competitors. His expert teaching techniques are tested, methodical, & presented in easy to understand steps. In just a few months, I noticed significant improvements in flexibility, coordination, conditioning, breathing, strategy & ...much needed patience. Beyond the training, he has the innate ability to foster a culture of inclusion and camaraderie with team members from diverse backgrounds creating a solid support system for achieving your goals. read less

He provides the perfect environment for aspiring competitors and hobbyists alike. One thing aboit Coach Rick that is amazing is the attention to detail; whether it's the great athletic wear available or a technique he is teaching, he focuses on the details and also adjusts for the diversity of the learners. Also, of particular importance, he establishes the appropriate environment for growth and development. He creates an atmosphere that benefits both competitors and non-competitors alike, and teaches possibilities for people of various sizes. At 40 and looking back, I never imagined I would be going into my 3rd year of a combat sport, competing, or even losing lbs while having fun choking people! Thank you so much Rick, for helping me believe in what I can do, even when I can't see the grass growing. read less

I started my daughter in the youth BJJ program and its made a huge difference in her school and home attitude, she loves her classes and coaches! The coaches always make her feel welcome, as well as her teammates, it’s become like a second family for the both of us! My daughter especially loves her new Ronin Kids gi that has a stretchy waist band rather than having to re-tie her pants all throughout class. read less
