RMA Jiu Jitsu Westhaven

RMA Jiu Jitsu Westhaven operates under the leadership of Professors John and Marcelo Ribeiro, who bring years of experience and a deep understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the Franklin area. The academy is part of a growing effort to introduce the art of Jiu-Jitsu to Westhaven, emphasizing self-defense techniques rooted in the sport’s traditional origins. Their approach stresses practical application, ensuring that students—from children to adults—develop skills that translate to real-life situations without relying on strikes. Training at RMA Westhaven is organized around age and skill levels, with distinct programs for kids and adults. The children’s curriculum includes classes such as Mighty Mites and progressive gi-based levels, designed to build confidence and a solid technical foundation. Adults can progress from beginner classes up through advanced CAP levels, with instruction covering both gi and no-gi formats. The academy also supports competition training, offering students the chance to join a team that represents RMA in tournaments worldwide. The facility itself is tailored for effective training, featuring a spacious mat area with premium equipment and ample natural light. An open mat session is available for adults, providing additional time for drilling and sparring outside of structured classes. The academy is wheelchair accessible, reflecting attention to practical needs. Located at 1025 Westhaven Blvd, Suite 125, RMA Westhaven presents a focused environment where technique, discipline, and respect are central to the daily training experience.
