Rice brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — Local services in Redding

I honestly do not know how somebody can leave one star for this gym. There is nobody thrown around like fresh meat in either the kids class or adults class. The only thing I can agree with that A L left in the comments is that these boys are champions. Their teaching of Jiu Jitsu is world class. Their care and consideration (especially for new comers) is second to none. They will train you or your children to become champions. Obviously there will be some bumps and bruises along the way because you are training a sport that involves bumps and bruises. If you want a participation trophy every time you come to class or simply want your child coddled and their hand held, than I would suggest ballet or starting a rock collection for them, but if you want them to know how to defend themselves from bullies or give an adult some self confidence than come give it a try!!! Thanks A L for your one star amoungst the other five...

Gave written notice of cancelation, was not honored. Gave to lady who said she was office staff and i did not check account. Moved. RB kept withdrawing. $4k till I caught it. Would not refund a penny or return calls , would not tell me who the lady was working in the office. She was a slender, Caucasian, adult student at RB who worked at shasta hospital. I was trying to arrange my mothers funeral, no kidding. She said not to worry about it, it would be handled. These two are no bros. Update: RB "tried to work it out" response is a fabrication, they did nothing to work things out, I could not get a call back ever. Brother said he would talk to tanner, never called back despite repeated calls. Ripoff followed by dishonesty. They may have been sorry for the loss of my mother, but they kept all of my 4 grand....

Professional. World Champs rome these mats. Friendly. The kids classes are awesome. The students are all stellar .. friendly. The quality of the training experience in any academy comes from the top. Tanner, Matt and Sam Rice...worth spending a few sessions with them before you make a decision. We have good Jiu Jitsu in NorCal.. It's better to know your options through experience first.. before making the final decision. I could happily train at any of the academies in Redding... but I know one thing.. Rice Bros/Amazonas are the standard for the student who wants to go really far in BJJ. They have a very solid program for beginners. Blue belts and up will not be disappointed .. I am a casual practitioner of BJJ and I love this place.. the energy...
