I’m brand new to Jiu Jitsu and have been training here for a few weeks now, I never felt out of place or intimidated. Tanner and Matt are great instructors and everyone in the gym is very friendly and welcoming. I can’t recommend it enough!
Matthew and Tanner are great coaches. Our kids have learned a lot and are getting so strong and confident. All the coaches are very knowledgeable.
Just finished my first year at Rice Bros. I could not recommend the school enough. Good people. Friendly atmosphere. But be warned, if you have a ego you better be ready to leave it at the door. This is a place full of strong men and women who hold them self to a high standard and they expect you to do the same. Be humble, work hard. You will do great!
Wont find better people or better jiujitsu hands down! Redding has a gold mine with Rice bros, take advantage.
Always been cordial when I have went in! They even give a free week of Jiu jitsu. I hope to use my free week soon!
Family owned. Very awesome great people
Visiting town for work and did a drop in. Went straight to drilling for about 30 minutes and then did 30 minutes rolling. Rolling started from standing, which was great, and even as a drop in student I got some technical advice. If Im ever back in the area Ill be back in this gym, and if I lived here Id train here no question.
Happy to be a part of this association. Come join us and find out.
They might be champions but, expect your inexperienced kid and 82 lbs kid to be used as fresh meat at their introductory class IN the adults class as well as to be thrown down by somebody double or triple their size and no instruction what so ever. Wow, is that how they motivate first timers looking forward to learn self defense? What do they care for?
My 14 year old and 4 year old love this place and look up to their instructors very much. I love that both of my kids have PLENTY of other kids their size to practice with...there is also a family vibe here that we love🙏
Great Jiu Jitsu school . Its been almost a year that my daughter nessa has been training here and she absolutely loves it. Her instructors are Matthew and Fisher and they are beyond great. Id definitely recommend this school for your kids!
After one session with Rice brothers bjj my boys were hooked! Great ppl great environment down to earth despite many impressive achievements. World class all the way and Im proud to be a part of the team!
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 star reviews.
These guys are the best. Best Jiu Jitsu on the west coast.
Awesome with kids. Family ran business and they are phenomenal people.
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.. Its 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 is the best.
Amazing!!!
My daughter love going and learning something new everyday
By far the best Jiu Jitsu in town.
