Ellia is great. The biggest problem with my Ralph bjj experience is that the mats are insanely old and hard, and people are constantly getting little injuries from them.

Today was a great day to practice the full end to end game of jiu jitsu. Starting from take downs, then mount, and a lot of conditioning as well.

Rhalan has been an amazing coach and mentor over the last two years I’ve been training @ Ralph Gracie. His patient and fundamental approach to teaching BJJ has helped me gain the confidence I need to be competitive in the art. I highly recommend coming to a class to check out the instruction and get some rolls in. You won’t regret it!

Rhalan is a fantastic coach first of all. In my beginner white belt class on Wednesday he taught us an arm bar submission from the top-mount position. Rhalan adjusted how I distribute my weight in transition, while on top, which was a huge help. Rhalan always knows how to teach those little adjustments which make an enormous difference. 10/10!

I had a class with Rhalan today and man! It was a blast. Rhalan always keeps the class interesting. You never expect what we are going to do with warm ups but he caters to the class. If he thinks we need to review basics then we will review basics. If he thinks that the class would benefit from a specialized warn up then we will do that. What we except from class is a specific position or move that we will focus on for a week or two so that our bodies and mind can remember by doing it in repetition. It may sound boring but it is not because even though it is the same position, we learn what to do in reaction to our opponent or what we can do to the opponent at that time. And know feel shy to ask Rhalan if you are lost! He always make sure to show you one on one if you are confused. And if you are too shy to ask, he makes sure to make his rounds around the class so that he can give you tips. A bonus is Rhalan’s cheerful nature and his encouraging energy. A bonus is that he is a funny guy and he makes me feel welcomed. Take it from me! I have been learning under him for about 2 years. Come by and learn under Rhalan!

My first no-gi class was with Elia. He was incredibly patient and took the time to break down high-level concepts and techniques, even on my very first day. Whenever I can, I make sure to catch his Tuesday and Thursday classes. Thanks to him, I learned that the gi is just an illusion. Oss!

Carlos is an awesome coach who always makes the classes really fun and accommodates everyone based on their abilities and needs. If you have an injury, he will do his best to help you address it before or after class with stretches and exercises. He also makes boxing a really fun and enjoyable in a way that’s not intimidating. I’ve been in Carlos’s class since I started at the academy a year ago and the striking class has been one of my favorite all time classes at RGSF.

Professor Rhalan is an excellent and experienced teacher. His technic is precise and he spends time and energy teaching his new technic yo all students. He is very strict in teaching technic while encouraging his students to be excellent.

Professor Rhalan is extremely dedicated in ensuring each and every one of his students gain the knowledge and step by step detail of the class. Rhalan’s passion for Jiu Jitsu and for teaching is evident, which allows for me as a student to remain engaged and eager to continue learning.

It was an especially great class - we worked on takedowns as well as ground work including passing, sweeps, and submissions - reviewing recent material. The specific training in passing was very clear and detailed, as is reliably the case for Rhalen's instruction.

My class today, actually was with Coach Steven, not Nico. Coach is good, provides feedback and teach me better techniques and how to be more disciplined. He is very consistent with his teaching and he goes hard on me on sparring but I know he does for good and making more resilient.

Nico's the best! He was very patient and helpful as I learned to better my roundhouse kicks

Coach Seiji was amazing! It was my first time today and I loved it. He was so nice, patient, and kind. Thank you once again.

Gavin T.

Took the beginners/ fundamentals class today with Seiji and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m 36 yo and very active. I have zero experience with martial arts or wrestling. He slowly explained some techniques and then we practiced them on each other. I would absolutely take a future class from him. Overall, this gym is great and I highly recommend it for both men and women.

Coach Rhalan's privates were a gamechanger for me, definitely got me unstuck and I feel like I have a plan to progress again. Also some great mindset advice for competing in BJJ but also just in life. Would def do again and recommend to a friend.
