TESTIMONIALS
"Working with Ritchie has greatly added to both my physical fitness and my skill level in the martial arts. My background solely comes from stand up fighting. I boxed amateur in Ontario for several years and currently teach it. Ritchie has given me the ability to feel more comfortable in ground fighting through the use of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Greco Roman Wrestling. Previous to my training with Ritchie I had zero training in these disciplines. Everyday we train together I feel more and more confident that I am becoming an overall well rounded fighter. Ritchie's teaching style is very methodical and his curriculum based teaching allows a natural progression from beginners to more advanced levels, all the while keeping it incredibly fun and interesting.

"Ritchie is very student-centered in his teaching approach. He has this ability to zero in on just where I'm at in my training - and he works from there. Some of the Martial Arts techniques we're working on are quite technical, but the challenge is offset by how positive and encouraging Ritchie is. This also builds my confidence as we train. The learning process with Ritchie is really fun as well."
