I am new to RIMA and am a big fan of this gym. It has a family feel and Master Tricoli and the other trainers are very passionate about what they do.
You can come in with zero experience (like myself) and never feel overwhelmed. They break everything down and offer a variety of mixed martial arts to fit your life and fitness goals.
RIMA has been amazing. Everyone has been welcoming to me and my family. I have trained in Hapkido for 6 years. I felt stagnate and wanted to continue to learn. Professor Tricoli has taught me so much in the few months that I have been here. He has pushed me and helped me continue to grow. I look forward to learning more.
I’ve been training here for almost 2 years and this is the best gym I’ve ever trained at. All phenomenal instructors, friendly students, and Master Tricoli is a great head coach to have in your corner.
I’ve been here for a month now and I really like it! I take their fitness kickboxing class a few times a week with different instructors and they’re all fantastic! Great workout. Highly recommended 🙂
Fantastic teachers and very kind staff! John is raw but professional and you can tell he knows his stuff! The teachers are extremely energetic and patient particularly when dealing with the younger kids, but they still keep things orderly and disciplined…vs other places where the instructors can’t keep a handle on the kids. A great experience all around and highly recommended!
This place is a must for any Muay Thai, BJJ training. Everyone you meet is so welcoming starting with John, the owner. They welcome all ages and their instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with you! On top of that, they keep the facility clean! I love this place, and will be coming back when I can.
Nice environment and the staff is very professional. Great work out space and I love the basketball court. Excellent way to lose weight and burn lots of calories. Instructors are patient and make sure you learn the proper techniques. I also like the hours of operation. You should check it out!
My two boys truly enjoy their time, they’re excited to go weekly. Plus, it helps enforce discipline for use in every aspect of their lives. The prices are reasonable, especially with having two children in routine activities. My spouse and I are considering to join as well, due to the ease and the professionalism of Sensi John and the entire staff. I recommend everyone to give it a shot!
Raleigh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai facility is top-notch . Professor John was amazing to learn from. Very very knowledgeable on jiu jitsu Concepts and techniques. I came to Raleigh from out of town and professor John was very welcoming.
I love this place, my little brother and I have been training here for a little over two years now. Instructors are nice and new comers are always welcomed with open arms!
A very welcoming environment. I spoke with the owner who was very polite and knowledgeable. Also throughly explained different types of martial arts classes the gym offers. I highly recommend this gym. The instructors are extremely friendly and helpful.
