RH Studios Bjj

RH Studios BJJ is led by Professor Rick Henry, a 3rd degree black belt who has been training and competing since 2008. He earned his rank under Professor Fabio Franco DaSilva and Professor Guto Vicente, linking the academy to a solid Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu lineage. Located in Northeast Philadelphia, the gym focuses on technique over athleticism, putting family and joy above competition and ego. Rick’s approach is straightforward: create a space where people can learn comfortably, whether they’re just starting out or preparing for tournaments. Classes at RH Studios cover both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults and kids. The kids’ program is one of the largest in Pennsylvania, emphasizing self-defense, discipline, and fun in a supervised setting. Adults can train gi classes multiple times a week, with no-gi and Muay Thai sessions also available. The striking is taught by Kru Tim McLaughlin, who brings over a decade of coaching experience from Master Toddy’s system. Besides regular classes, the gym offers private lessons and a high-intensity fitness class called Nuclear 49.5, designed to push conditioning for all ages. The academy’s schedule is built around consistent training opportunities throughout the week, including evening classes and a Saturday no-gi session. This setup supports steady progress for everyone, from beginners to competitive athletes. RH Studios keeps a practical focus on skill development and personal growth rather than flashy promotions or hype. The atmosphere is shaped by years of experience and a clear set of values that guide how the academy operates in Philadelphia’s BJJ scene.
