Great training and instructors for adults and children!
Great place for kids to learn BJJ and Judo. Excellent instructors and gym location.
I have been training at R&D for several years now and can say that their facility, staff and curriculum is by far the best in the area. The facilities are by far the nicest I've seen even in bigger city gyms attached to "celebrity" instructors. Mats are high quality with foam suspension under a plywood platform which make it easier on the body for high impact training. The instructors are highly skilled, great teachers and regularly bring in visiting professors to keep a fresh perspective. The training partners all contribute to a very positive and friendly vibe on and off the mats. This is definitely the place to train BJJ amd/or Judo if you are in the Triad area!
My buddy and I came to visit for the weekend and attended a no-gi class, a self-defense class, & open mat at R & D academy. They have an amazing facility with a ton of mat space, patient, friendly instructors, and it's a really good environment for learning. If I lived in Winston-Salem I'd be training here.
If you are looking for true Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training, Judo training or learning self defense...this is the academy for you! Great staff, friendly atmosphere and a judgement free zone for beginners and all skill levels. You will not be disappointed!
