My son started in January 2019 at the age of 9.
He’s advanced so much and his confidence in his ability to defend himself is through the roof. He also knows not to panic and stay calm in compromising situations. This is extremely important in self defense and something a person with no training will fail on, all the time.
This is not a competitive type school, it’s purpose is self defense. However, my son has entered in completions with US Grappling snd NAGA, and has had success.
The instruction from Rahshun is encouraging as well as teaches discipline. Rahshun makes sure that all students

I have been training here for a little over 5 years and it is truly one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I'll tell anyone who asks that I came for the Jiu Jitsu and I stayed for the people. You will not find higher caliber people anywhere else, nor will you find a group of people and instructors who are as invested in your success, not only jiu jitsu but also in life, as the people at Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy of Raleigh.
If you're thinking about joining or trying it out, don't waste another minute and just show up, you won't regret it.

We enrolled our son in the kids class 6 months ago and the speed of his progress is really staggering. The majority of the credit must go to Rashaun the lead kids' coach. He has a special talent communicating with children and getting the most effort out of them. He both challenges and pushes them. I find his approach very refreshing. I've witnessed tremendous changes in all the other students in the class as well.
Billy, the owner, his partner, and Peaches (gym dog) are always there to welcome you, chat about the day, and sets the tone and culture of the school through his leadership. Oh, and

Been training here now for a little over 3 years now and couldn't imaging being somewhere else. I started coming for the Muay Thai training and figured why not do some Jiu Jitsu, that's was all she wrote. I can't single out any single instructor because they are all fantastic and whether you're a seasoned vet or brand new they do a fantastic job at making your feel comfortable. Your training partners here are fantastic as well, everyone is always helping each other become better every day. Jiu Jitsu has drastically changed the way I approach things and I have this academy to thank for that.

I Can’t speak highly enough about this gym as a whole, and the instructors. Not only is the self defense, facilities, programs, environment, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu top notch, but the instructors, and everyone else involved are some of the best people I know. If you’re interested in self defense Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, enrolling your kids in a great martial arts program, or judo do yourself a favor and sign up for a free trial class. I promise you won’t regret it. 10/10

This place is amazing. I had no mixed martial arts experience before but wanted to get into it. I checked out 2 gyms before this one, wasn’t impressed. Tried 1 Jiu Jitsu class here and immediately signed up! Great atmosphere, great people, and high quality instruction. The head instructor Billy is an AMAZING instructor. He makes everyone feel welcomed which is what I valued the most. You will definitely learn a lot!
