A Message from the Founder of RCW
I started training in martial arts at age 9, and it's been a lifelong passion that's shaped who I am today. Over the years, I've had the privilege of earning certifications directly from Pedro Sauer himself, soaking up decades of knowledge I never dreamed I'd get to pass on. Now, at River City Warriors in Tigard, I'm pouring all that experience into building a community where anyone—beginners or seasoned fighters—can grow, feel empowered, and discover their own strength, step by step.
I've been hooked on martial arts since I was 9, it's in my blood. Years of dedication led me to train under Pedro Sauer, a first-generation black belt certified by Grand Master Helio Gracie himself. At RCW, you're getting the real deal: authentic, undiluted Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, straight from the source. No fluff, no dilution—just the pure techniques I've lived and breathed, passed down directly to you.
One Free Class
Changes Everything
Hundreds of RCW students remember their first class as the turning point. The techniques work from day one, showing you possibilities you never imagined for yourself.
