I have dropped in at other gyms and thought the vibe was pretty weird and was anxious that this place, too, would be unwelcoming to a visitor. Instead I'm already thinking about when I will plan my next trip. The professor provides solid fundamentals and individualized attention to make sure you understand the techniques. Great professor, friendly students, and CLEAN facility without that usual 'bjj funk' my nose has grown to expect at other gyms I have visted.

I can only rate their kids programs…read more BACKGROUND - People argue that their discipline is better than another like - Karate is better than Tae Kwon Do etc... If someone invested 2 or 3 years in a system I'm betting they won't think it was a bad choice. They will defend their choice to the end - bitter or not. However, most people don't stick with it long enough to really learn the skills and values they are trying to teach you. So how do you choose? The teacher and the schools personality. You need to find a personality that matches your objectives. We have all seen the Karate Kid movie where the school was very aggressive and taught winning was everything - a classic example of a bad school - IMHO. THE SCHOOL - Dave is the owner and is very personable. He is well rounded and makes sure the classes are hard & fun. The kids are challenged - sometimes pushed to their limits. This is a good thing - it teaches them that they are capable of more than they think. It also teaches them that if they can't succeed the 1st time to keep trying and they can make the grade. It's never about beating someone else but pushing yourself and learning your limits. Kids ages 8 to 12 are offered 2 classes - Thai Kick Boxing and Ju Jit Su. 2/3s of each class is spent on exercises and 1/3 learning new skills. They build a solid base in strength, endurance, speed and coordination etc. When they are ready they are moved to the next level for more work and more skills.

Sifu Dave and his team offer several martial arts and self defense training, including one-on-one, for all age groups.

I highly recommend stopping by and seeing for yourself why EMA has been a fixture in the community for almost 20 years! You won't be disappointed!

From parking,…read moreto the cleanliness of the facility, to the generous class schedule, to the friendliness of the staff, and the amazing bjj that Prof. Sernack embodies, everything about RGD is excellent. If you walk into any class on any day, either Vinny (Program Director/ excellent purple belt,) or Prof. George himself will warmly greet you and make you feel at home. The jiu jitsu is top notch, and the students are best I've ever worked with. I simply can't say enough good things about RGD, because frankly I consider it a second home. It's the place I bring my sons to learn about jiu jitsu and life. I'm proud to say that Prof. George awarded me my black belt in October of 2021, and I foresee myself and my family training at RGD for many decades to come.

Helwig has the unique teaching skill of being able to relate complex concepts in an easily digestible structure to elevate skills of anyone who trains. Combined with finding what motivates each student and tactfully pushing them. Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will never feel so individualized in a group setting. Additionally, the other black belts Carl and Anthony both instructors, provide great wealth of knowledge and experience. The combined knowledge of these 3 has greatly influenced and grown my skills. The philosophy of AMA is simple; full resistance training. Making sure what you learn can be applied to situations where there is no complying partner/opponent, translating directly to real world application.
