Richard is a fantastic coach, with extremely high level jiu jitsu, who has created a great gym culture at RJA. I have loved being part of this gym and look forward to many more years of training here. Aside from great classes and training, it’s full of really good people!
46 year old black belt. Popped in for a visit, excellent vibes at this gym. Great crew and Richard is a brilliant high level blackbelt. Hidden Gem in the area and worth a visit!
At 57, I can honestly say joining RJA (or Richard’s Jiu Jitsu Academy) has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. The training keeps me fit, sharp, and energized, but it’s more than just physical—there’s a real sense of purpose in learning the art and constantly improving. Professor Richard is incredibly skilful and supportive, and the community here is second to none: a group of good friends who push each other, laugh together, and grow together. Whether you’re starting out or looking to deepen your skills, RJA offers a powerful mix of challenge, camaraderie, and personal growth.
Richard is an amazing coach! Being a winner of many international championships, he is humble, friendly and down-to-earth.He tailors his teaching to suit each student and help them grow. The kids class is fun & practical. I can see my son's confidence &skill grow over time through the training. Not only it is a great self-defence teaching, he also teaches the kids so much about discipline, respect and resilience. Highly recommend!
