Ricardo Almeida Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

Anyone who has trained martial arts in some capacity knows how important the skills that are taught are. Myself included.nnLooking to get an early start we coordinated with the school for a trial class for our almost 4 year old. Generally these trials are held during the week, due to my work schedule an exception was made for us. FlexiblennThe 1st two classes we attended, our son was not ready to get on the mats. We were invited back each time to continue giving him a chance to adapt and participate. Each Class was run by Coach Tyler - more about him below...nnFinally, the 3rd time was the charm, Tyler had immense patience with our son who was distracting the other students and having trouble staying focused. Instead of avoiding interaction, he embraced him and spent a moment walking him through a technique that was more simple than the one they were working on.nnWhile we will have to wait a bit to get our son enrolled. I want to thank Ricardo and Tyler for being so accommodating. If you are thinking out enrolling here...Stop thinking and just do it.

I trained at his original gym as a kid and I became really good as I got older after what I learned from there. buckled down on my ground game,wrestling and, my striking witch my stand up is by far my best thing in my arsenals I had good technique, I'm very fast, and, I did muii taii kick boxing so my kicks are very unpredictable. But, my elbows, my nee's and my clinch is very good also. But, I remember his old gym riccardo was mainly just focusing on Brazilian jujitsu I remember him as a very kind, very cool but, a dangerous man once he got in that ufc cage.the instructors were very professional, they honestly cared, and, there passion to help us was amazing also and I never forgot riccardo or his instructors willingness and compassion to get us the best versions we can be. As I grew up I went down different paths and my family was short on money so I ended up leaving his school it crushed me as a kid but, at 15 I started doing moi-tia kick boxing and got very very technical with my hands especially, my kicks and, elbows. I just came homing from living in kinnelon newjersey I got my own house at 19 from fighting in tournaments as a kid then got a great job.and couldn't afford it anymore and im 24 due to corona but while I was living out there I was training at frankie Edgar gym in kinnelon and found my roots again. And I can't wait to train up her in Mercer county again at you're place. I saw what you did for Cody garbrant vs accunso and knew when I come back I will train at his place once again. But, for anyone who is new I highly suggest you goto this place this place grounded me for a career in martial Arts see you soon guys.
