RDC Jiu Jitsu Academy is a family within itself. Being part of the gym for over six years. It challenges you to grow both as an individual and as a team member. You will be hard pressed to find the level of talent and quality people any where else.

Amazing place to learn and grow as both a amateur and a experienced grappler. Coaching is great and the other members are exceptional people to be around. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone interested in the sport

Absolutely loved my experience here! The place was spotlessly clean, the instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, and the vibes were just right. Training partners were great, and everyone was super friendly. Highly recommend!

As an older BJJ beginner, I wasn’t sure what I was in for. The fundamentals program gave me a very solid base to be able to continue my BJJ journey in the advanced classes. The experience and knowledge of the coaches is excellent, and their passion for teaching and sharing knowledge is evident. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend New Level Grappling to anyone wanting to start training in BJJ, or even as a higher belt looking to up their game!

From beginners to existing or advanced practitioners, if you are all about physical/ mental wellness and great camaraderie all wrapped up in world class teaching and learning of BJJ skills/techniques, then I recommend you look no further than New Level Grappling Academy where you can be transformed from a beginner to a confident grappler within a few months or just polishing and enhancing existing techniques!

Amazing Brazilian Jujitsu Club! It all starts from the top down with high level skilled instructors. They are not just accomplished competitors but very knowledgeable instructors as well. Each instructor is always striving and learning to make themselves better, which then they pass it onto the students that make the club members better. You can tell the instructors truly love the sport and Martial Art that Brazilian Jujitsu is.


Also, the environment is very friendly, but encourages hard work and self improvement, and really feels like a family. I can't say enough good things about this club and how it has improved my personal Brazilian Jujitsu skills and also improved my life overall.
