RTC offers Traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu / Judo classes
as well as No Gi Grappling for adults.
Traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo share deep roots in grappling, emphasizing technique, skill, and discipline. Judo, originating from Japan, focuses on powerful throws and control, while Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu refines ground fighting and submissions. Both arts require precise movements and practice to control an opponent using all appendages and their attire, the Gi.
These arts area total body workout. Learn to employ proper technique as you leverage your own strength to defeat an opponent.
No gi means that you are grappling without the gi or uniform, so you are wearing a t-shirt or rash guard. When you are training no gi, you are not allowed to grab any of your partner’s clothing.
No Gi Jiu Jitsu teaches you how to submit and control your opponents using the natural points of the body effectively rather than traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Gi).
Our coaches will dive deeply into drills and techniques that will make you a better grappler.
Always BE RESPECTFUL
Everyone is trying to learn and not get hurt. When sparring, keep that in mind. If you find that you are using strength and it’s still not working try a different path.
Pay attention to techniques that are being demonstrated. If you do not understand a certain aspect of it, speak up rather than having a side bar conversation.
Make every attempt to show up on time. You should be changed and ready when class starts. If you will be late, try to let someone know.
All uniforms must be clean.
Keep toe and finger nails trimmed.
Please keep food, drinks, and shoes off of the mats.
Pictures or videos should not be taken without permission.
Jewelry should not be worn while training .
Stretch/Warm-up before class begins.
Clean up after yourself. This includes tape, cups, bottles, etc.
Bring something to drink.
1. Wash your gi, belt, rash guards immediately. Don't let them sit. Air-drying a Gi without washing it puts you and others at a significant risk for infection
2. Use a Lysol spray on gym bags, gloves, shin guards, slippers, and cup as soon as you can
3. Don't let gear sit in warm dark lockers or soaked in sweat on a chair
4. Be sure your equipment is dry before wearing it to class.
5. Compression clothing can help protect your skin from abrasion and the spread of infection.
6. If your rash guards smell after you wash them they are infected with bacteria. Throw them away or bleach them.
1. Don't go to the bathroom barefoot
2. Teeth brushed, deodarant, clean gear, clipped fingernails
3. Wear shoes off mat, never walk on the mat with shoes (clean wresting shoes are the exception)
4. Don't train sick
1. Take a shower as soon as you can after class. Don't put it off. you have a short window of time before your good bacteria can no longer fight off infections.
2. Soap up and let the soap sit on your skin for at least 30 seconds. Focus on high contact areas like your hands back of your neck face and feet.
3. Don't reuse towels after your shower. You could reinfect yourself or pass it on to others in your family.
4. If you have MRSA, ringworm, or cold sores do not train. Go see a doctor and only train after the doctor clears you. Any skin issue you have should be addressed immediately. If it looks suspicious go have it checked out.
5. You are much more susceptible if you have open wounds or cuts on your body. Don't train with open cut and properly cover them.
6. Avoid antibacterial soaps. They kill all your good bacteria which protect you and can make some bacteria resistant. Physical agitation with regular soap works best
