We found our way to Professor Ronda’s gym when our son was in middle school, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we could’ve made for him. Her focus on fundamentals and technique gave him a strong foundation not only in jiu-jitsu, but in who he was becoming as a young man. The confidence, discipline, and respect he gained on the mat carried over into every part of his life. I later had the chance to train under her myself. It was my first experience with any martial art, and I always felt safe, supported, and challenged in the best way. Her program is structured, respectful, and run to the highest standard. It’s also the cleanest gym I’ve ever seen. The quality of her students both skilled and respectful speaks volumes about Professor Ronda’s leadership. We’re forever grateful for the time we spent learning from her.
