The jiu jitsu is top notch, and the students are best I've ever worked with. I simply can't say enough good things about RGD, because frankly I consider it a second home. It's the place I bring my sons to learn about jiu jitsu and life. I'm proud to say that Prof. George awarded me my black belt in October of 2021, and I foresee myself and my family training at RGD for many decades to come.

Helwig has the unique teaching skill of being able to relate complex concepts in an easily digestible structure to elevate skills of anyone who trains. Combined with finding what motivates each student and tactfully pushing them. Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will never feel so individualized in a group setting.
