I had a pleasant experience visiting Rasai. The facility is clean, presentable and provides for the members needs. I was pleasantly surprised to find dressing rooms, cubbies and slippers. The restroom is clean and includes an elevated shower. Drinks and small snacks are available for purchase, such as: Energy, protein, coconut water and protein bars. Sergio is a hands on teacher with ability to articulate drills well. He checks in on each student during drilling techniques. One thing that stood out to me was that he prioritized the safety of the students. He's very approachable as a coach and cares a lot about what he teaches. (Plus he's a high level competitor who is still active in the competition scene.) The students were respectful and friendly to a guest such as myself. I would love to come back and visit again. Bonus feedback: There is an onsite masseuse available to make appointments with.

This is my first time practicing any form of martial arts, it can be intimidating to begin any combat sport, but training at Rasai has been the best experience for me. The instructors at Rasai are extraordinary!They’re invested in the growth of their students, and developing a safe learning environment for students of all ages. They lead with respect and care, and this is also emulated by everyone who calls this gym home. Each class is rooted in technique, sequenced drills, and spars. I’ve learned so much in a very short time. I recommend this space for anyone looking to get started in BJJ, or up their game. World class champions train here.

Started my jiu jitsu journey here at Rasai. My experience here has been nothing but fantastic. They provide a safe, clean environment and everyone there helps each other grow. My only regret is not starting sooner.

I started jujitsu late. I’m older than most people who sign up and I have no prior experience in martial arts or any type of activity that involves fighting or self defense. I have to say that Rasai is incredibly welcoming, the people are wonderful and Professor Sergio is amazing. He definitely helps you learn, keeps the classes challenging but really pays attention to each student and their individual strengths and weaknesses. I would not train any where else!

I chose Rasai Jiu Jitsu after visiting other schools first. One of the things that convinced me about Rasai Jiu Jitsu was the friendly treatment and how they explained the Jiu Jitsu process from the very beginning. The classmates I've met have always been willing to help me improve with practice and detail. I'm enjoying a great experience in every class, which motivates me to keep learning. First, the discipline, and then the fun of applying what I've learned. There are many serious situations that make me reconsider, stay calm, focus and look for what to do next time. Jiu Jitsu has also changed my personal life. In reality, for me, everything about Jiu Jitsu is positive. Thank you Sergio and every one that is part of Rasai Team 🤙
