Andrew Richie Jiu-Jitsu Team

Fantastic experience: My 3 young girls have been coming here for over a year now, and it's really come to be like a family. The instructors are wonderful with kids. I love knowing that my daughters are getting the benefits of cardio and strength training, developing self-respect and discipline, and becoming strong and more able to defend themselves.

Fantastic experience: Very good family environment. Instructors are very professional and have a desire to teach and see each and every individual reach their full potential.

Fantastic experience: Andrew Richie is professional, punctual and an asset to any martial arts program. His enthusiasm for jiu jitsu is above reproach. I highly recommend Andre Richie Jiu Jitsu Team.

Fantastic experience: Best training and best coaches you can ask for

Fantastic experience: I moved to the area and started homeschooling my Autistic son, I had never even known someone that homeschooled. Shortly after someone recommended me here and I can’t thank Andy enough for his patience with my son. He did daytime classes for homeschoolers, which had smaller classes. My son went here for a year and I truly believe this place is what broke the barrier of my son’s social issues. It wasn’t always easy and my son couldn’t always participate, but Andy welcomed him every time. My son was older than the baby sharks, but he let him go because the classes were smaller. If my son was the only one to show up for the homeschool day classes he would work with him alone. He also has several awesome guys that help him out with the classes for younger kids. I loved this place and the people that went, we only left because we moved out of state.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors with a family-oriented environment! Definitely a great place to visit.

Fantastic experience: Top notch instructor. Family friendly. Great environment. Highly recommend it

Fantastic experience: Love this place! It's an amazing environment for both the children and the adults to learn in. You feel less like classmates here and more like family. The management is geared heavily to cater to the family setting. They have the right balance of compassion, encouragement, and discipline when dealing with the kids. They cover tchnique and get cardio in the kids classes while doing activities where they don't even realize they are learning basic movements of jiu-jitsu. When the kids get out of control or break rules they pull them back into focus using discipline techniques involving movements such as sprawls teaching them to respect the rules and authorities of the classroom. In the adult classes there is so much knowledge to learn from. There are skilled fighters throughout the belt levels. Several members in the adult group competes at tournaments which betters your opportunity to learn as a new comer to the sport. They bring the lessons they learn outside of the gym back with them giving you even more of a library to pull from as you seek to grow in your own abilities.

Fantastic experience: Great academy! Wonderful environment to learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu no matter your age and/or skill level.

Fantastic experience: My family enjoys coming here. The coaches are friendly and great with kids; they pay close attention to each and every student during the kids Jiu Jitsu class. My daughters have learned so much and have expanded their athleticism. My husband attends the adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes and loves it as well. I could not say enough good things about this gym!

Fantastic experience: This is a great, family friendly place. The coach is very invested in his students! Several days and times are available so that it can fit your schedule. Several members are very active in competitions which is great for taking the kids to watch to encourage them. There's also tons of support for those that want to compete.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Been training here since April 2018 and it has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Andy is an amazing and talented instructor who goes in depth with every technique and breaks it down for anyone to understand.
