You will get excellent technical instruction that has been passed down from the mouths of living legends of the sport. Reno is lucky to have [them] and anyone walking through those doors will find out they are too.

Max has been teaching classes at Renzo Gracie Academy headquarters in NYC for years. I've had the pleasure of studying under him and can say without hesitation that Reno's lucky to have him. Max has a welcoming persona and is a master of technique, able to break down world class martial arts concepts and relay them in an easy to grasp manner...Don't pass this up!

WOW! Invited by a friend that trains at Renzo to the Saturday open mat. Mats were packed with amazing people. Everyone so welcoming. The gym is very well maintained & clean. Can’t wait to train there again.

I started my jiu jitsu journey here. Max and his coaches have built a welcoming community for both newcomers and veterans of the sport. As someone who has visited multiple gyms throughout my career, I always find myself wanting to come back to Renzo's in Reno. It is one of the best gyms in the nation.
