I was very nervous to start my BJJ journey but I quickly realized I came to the right place. Royal Art BJJ is the best gym to come and train in. The environment is welcoming and Professor Ricardo is an excellent teacher and coach. Nancy is always there to greet you and help with any questions and has great Warrior CBD. If you are looking for a place to train, or even send your kids, this is where you should go.

This is literally the best gym ever! I’ve been to lots of gyms and Professor Abreu is the most kind, helpful, and genuinely caring professor I’ve ever trained under. Best training partners, best vibe, and the most improvement I’ve seen! Thank you so much, Professor!

I've been training at Royal BJJ for about 3 years now and I really consider it to be my second home. Everyone who trains there is super friendly and push one another to get better. There are alot of technical higher belts who also help improve your game. The place is super clean and a really a comfortable atmosphere to train at. Coach Ricardo is an awesome coach who always focuses on his students best and really does everything to help better everyone's BJJ game. I definitely recommend this school to anyone who is either just starting with jiujitsu or they are seasoned jiujitsu practitioners and

I was hesitant to start jiujitsu in my late thirties. I have a business, young kids, and a busy life. Professor Ricardo approaches every class with empathy, common sense, and great communication. He is very friendly and professional. The upper level experienced people are very helpful and will take care of every new person. It feels like one big family. No one is trying to hurt each other, but just to improve everyday. The gym is extremely clean and well run. I cannot say enough good things. I am starting my daughters in the kids class this summer.

I'm new white belt and I've just started with Professor Ricardo and his team at Royal Art BJJ. In the short time I've been here, not only have I learned a lot, but I also had the opportunity to roll along with the other students. Compared to the other schools I've been to, Ricardo takes on a much different approach where you are thrown in with the advanced students and are not only learning technique at the same time, but also learning how the they are applying those techniques on you in a full simulated matchup. In contrast to demonstration, this 1st hand experience helps you understand how the

The mats are clean, the in-store Warrior CBD is unbeaten, and the instruction provided by Professor Ricardo Abreu is world-class. You won't find a more welcoming community full of people all shapes-and-sizes to train with! Whether you're traveling through Plano, or a resident there's no better place to learn self-defense and the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Ricardo and Nancy are top-notch gym owners, and they offer a trial class for FREE, so swing by and pick up some Warrior CBD while you're here! Proud Royal's my home away from home.

If I ever have to leave Dallas training at Royal Art BJJ with Ricardo will hands down be the thing I miss the most (and that includes good texmex and barbecue!). Ricardo is an amazing instructor pairing excellent technique with really intuitive and detailed explanations. Everyone training at Royal Art BJJ is very nice and welcoming. I have also taken private lessons with Ricardo and can testify that it can make a huge difference - locking in the fundamentals and expanding from there. I can't say enough good things and I can't imagine a better place to train.

I had the pleasure of being Ricardo's student for about 6 months in Albuquerque, NM. While having Ricardo open his own gym in Plano is a great loss for Albuquerque, it's an incredible opportunity for those in the area. Having Ricardo as my coach seriously surpassed any expectations I may have had when I first began my journey.
I had never had any experience with grappling or wrestling of any kind, so I was very nervous to try my first class. Ricardo made me feel super comfortable from the moment I stepped on the mat and explained things in a way that I could understand without making me feel awkward

Ricardo is an amazing BJJ instructor. Not only is he top notch in knowledge and technique, he is also humble, sincere and passionate in his instruction. He looks for the best in each of his students and is able to make you feel like you are capable of accomplishing anything. He is an inspiration to all who have the privilege of studying under him. If you are lucky enough to live in the Plano, TX area I highly recommend you take advantage of the opportunity to train with him: you will not be disappointed!
