Ronin Jiu-Jitsu

Great place to train weather your competitor, here for self defense or trying to get into the best shape of your life. Friendly atmosphere everyone is so helpful. All instructors have years upon years of Jiu-​jitsu, Wrestling, and Judo knowledge. Great self defence techniques and a great place for the whole family to train.

Started training at Ronin today and I just want to say… excellent training by far!!! I cant wait to hit the mats again and learn more. The instructors take the time to teach technique and also make it a point to coach along the way. Everybody that trains there is humble and comfortable to be around. I was nervous at first but quickly loosened up and had an enjoyable experience.

I have been Training with Sensei Ernest melo, Bobby, and chuck on and off for about 5 years. They were always welcoming and without ego. The group of men and women that train there are all very humble. The instructors reinforce technique and there are plenty of opportunities to roll with people. Each student has the opportunity to go train at headquarters in brentwood anytime free of charge. It is a blackbelt school so you are getting a quality instructor.

Cool place. Jiu jitsu upstairs and cross fit downstairs. Husband and wife Julio and Tara are great. Thanks, cross fit rocks!

I’ve been on-​and-​off at Ronin since April 09. When i first started training i felt out of place, but now that I’ve been going for a while I feel comfortable with everyone here. The classes are taught by one of 3 brown belt instructors, and we have a black belt seminar semi-​annually.
Technique-​wise, the class will include both sport and self-​defense techniques. Unlike other Jiu-​Jitsu schools, there is practice devoted to standing throws during class, which i find a helpful supplement to my judo training.
In terms of demographics, pretty much everyone at this school is male. I have seen one female student twice in class, but that is not the norm. Size-​wise most of the guys here are big, although there are a few smaller nimbler guys.
For the physical school location, it’s difficult to find initially if you don’t know what to look for. On the website they have a picture of the school. The actual training area is fairly small. The mat area is large enough to accommodate maybe 14ish people. There ARE bathroom facilities, but it’s only one person at a time.
The prices are reasonable, nothing out of the ordinary for a brazilian jiu-​jitsu school.
There is a competition aspect to the school, but it’s not shoved down your throat. If you compete, that’s great and they’ll try to give you extra time to work on your moves. If you don’t compete, that’s fine too, and they won’t hurt you for not competing.
