What Others Are Saying
"I have been training with Vini and the team for almost three years now and it has been transformative to my life in a lot of ways. Ever since I started, I've been trying to get everyone to try jiu jitsu! I've also trained at various BJJ gyms around the country and, in my experience, I've found Vini and the RGWC crew to be the most welcoming to beginners and visitors!"
