At the beginning of the year I signed up for an introductory 6 week BJJ class for beginners. I'm almost 40, completely out of shape and have never had any experience with any sports let alone martial arts. I was hesitant and very nervous to take the class. However, after attending the course I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The lead instructor Nick is fantastic! He's great with kids, great with his students and blends the perfect amount of humor with solid instruction. Once we started grappling and started putting our skills to the test I unfortunately got injured and missed some classes. I would recommend drinking lots of water and stretching before class. I am very eager to heal and get back to training. They make it such a fun and exciting environment to learn. Everything is very clean and all the instructors are AMAZING! This place will change your life for the better! Highly recommend!!
Posted 6 months agoExcellent place to train for all levels. Head coach Nick Rice really cares about his students. Friendly and competitive place to get some great rolls in and learn high level Jiujitsu.
Posted 10 months agoThe instructors and participants of the classes I’ve been to have been amazing. The adult beginner and intermediate classes were very informative and taught by great and well spoken instructors. The instructors are always more than happy to help explain and fix your technique down to the small details. I definitely would definitely recommend anyone interested in bjj to give ricebros a try!
Posted 11 months agoReally fun, welcoming place for beginners. Nick really connects with the kids and inspires confidence and passion. Our six year old has made great friends and this has become her favorite sport.
Great group of people that have no judgements and are there for people of all skill levels!
This is a good clean gym. Nick is a great teacher and the classes are always really well rounded. They also have a variety of classes you can take here.
Can't say enough good things about the wonderful humans that work here! Nick leads Rice Bros Medford with professionalism, charisma and exceptional moral and ethical conduct. Some of the best fighters in the world train here and there is no question why. Come check them out!
The most welcoming group of people I’ve met. Great environment to learn, and the instructors are accommodating of everyone’s pace.
Rice Bro’s is awesome. Good vibes, family oriented environment, and lots of fun. So happy I found this place.
Such a good atmosphere! From the instructors to the students, everyone is there to teach, learn and be better humans! Not to hurt anyone. I feel right at home!
I had a great experience in my time at Rice Bros Bjj. I walked in with zero experience in bjj, or wrestling or anything. But everyone, helped out along the way. There were other instructors from time to time, besides Nick Rice, who taught classes. And all were super knowledgeable and patient with the very new guy. Also, other students were always willing to give advice and help. BJJ is no simple thing to undertake. It is impossible to learn without hundreds of reps of hundreds or even thousands of positions and situations. As such, instruction quality becomes paramount. If you choose to go try Rice Bros. you will be rewarded with a good, fun environment, with knowledgeable instructors, and have a rewarding experience. I highly recommend Rice Bros.
Best jiu jitsu class in the area!
I started training at Rice Bros shortly after they opened their doors. As a female with zero combat sport or grappling background I was very intimidated and nervous to start. Those feelings were Incredibly fleeting. From my first day, I felt welcomed and encouraged. The instruction was very detailed and well communicated. The training partners are kind and respectful. I’ve come to love this sport that scared me to death at first. My BJJ family is now a major blessing that I can’t imagine being without.
RiceBros is a fantastic place to train BJJ. The environment is incredibly positive and encouraging, and I started there as an absolute beginner! BJJ isn't an easy sport, but Nick and the others at RiceBros helped me get my start in an enjoyable way. If you're just looking to start out your BJJ journey or are an experienced practitioner, you'll find what you need here!
We attend the women's self defense class. It's builds in so many empowering fundamentals, while being fun, and a great workout. My 9 year old daughter loves it too. Great for self confidence.
Just moved back to the rogue valley and I am so lucky to have such great training. Would recommend for the entire family
Whether you are just starting out or have some experience under your Gi belt this is a great gym for individuals or the whole family. We especially appreciate there kids classes!
Awesome group of people. Nick is an excellent instructor
Nick is absolutely amazing with our son and all the kid's in his class! He is strict but very fair. He shows discipline and compassion where it is needed. Highly recommend this school!
This is a fantastic BJJ GYM in the Medford area. My family lives here, so when I visit I train here. The staff is polite and easy to work with and the training is well prepared. The culture is inviting and welcoming to new people. If you're looking to train, this is the place!
I began my Jiu Jitsu journey when Rice Bros opened up. After my first class I knew it would be my forever dojo. From day one the staff has made me feel welcomed and accepted, even as a beginner. They even have an awesome play room for your kids to have fun while the adults get a training session in. If you’re worried about doing something wrong or looking silly, have no fear it is a no judgement type of environment. Nick is wonderful at breaking down technique to the fine details and working hands on with everyone to make sure you are progressing and having fun. There isn’t a single class I haven’t walked out the doors with a smile on my face. I would recommend this dojo to anyone. Come on in and become part of the family.
Great instruction and extremely friendly atmosphere. I appreciate that the more senior guys take the time to help with technique. The class times available make training convenient. Overall Rice Bros BJJ is a 5 out of 5!
I started at RiceBros ever since they opened their doors. I’ve trained at many different Jiu Jitsu dojos over the last 10 years off and on, and each time deciding a place, believe me, when I say, it’s an important decision. You want to enjoy going to class to learn, compete, train, laugh, better your health, etc… Overall, being in a good environment to enjoy your time will keep you committed. Professor Nick is always hands-on when teaching class, believe it or not, some dojos don’t even have black belts teaching most of the week. #First3ever #Promoted@RiceBrosOregon
This is an amazing environment for positive mental and physical growth. The owners are welcoming, appropriate, and fun. The training partners and staff do their best to maintain a safe, comfortable business where you can be challenged while harnessing a positive mental attitude. They just got a killer striking class in there, kickboxing with Tommy is awesome. I love the ability to do BJJ and MMA.
Had a 1on1 session with Coach Tomi on a open mat, really good instruction
Amazing coaches, very knowledgeable and helpful. The kickboxing class is a a great workout if that is what you’re after or if you’re building your ring skills. All around awesome gym!
Love the Muay Thai classes! Not only is it a great work out but Tomi teaches some great self defense and breath work strategies!
Hands down the best place for self defense for women the female classes are worth it and I would recommend it 5 times over
Best place in Southern Oregon to learn alot of good stuff love thw classes teachers are out standing and care alot I need more stars I'd rate it way more go check them out it's worth every penny
One of my favorite places to be! Staff are amazing who will work with you at any level so you can be the best you! Everybody I met was extremely kind and courteous! I have absolutely nothing negative to say, I will be back when I visit town!
Fantastic company for all ages. My son was new to any karate, jiu-jitsu, mma and the owner/ coach was so patient with him learning.
I tried out other BJJ places in the valley... NONE come close to RiceBros!! They have everything I wanted. Solid technique instruction, excellent facilities, an instructor with the ability to break down the difficult and add in the little adjustments that take your technique to the next level. Egos are dropped at the door, everyone helps eachother improve and we have fun! Love this place!!
This is an excellent facility. Designed for someone serious in the art as well as someone just starting out. Awesome layout, sparkly clean, incredible instructors and understated but more than functional little things that make the big picture the best facility in town such as some of the tech integration and of course the bar.
This is, by far, the best Jiu Jitsu academy in Southern Oregon. The staff is friendly and the training partners are there to help people learn. I recommend this place for anyone.
I came across rice bros when I was looking for youth classes. I filled some information out online, including my card info. I didn't receive a confirmation for signing up, nor did anyone reach out to me so I assumed our info wasn't processed. Fast forward months down the road and I realize I'm being automatically charged every month. I paid $620 to a place I never even stepped foot in. When I notified rice bros of the mishap, they refused a refund and offered one free class. One free class for my $620 !!
