Roger Gracie is widely regarded as one of the greatest jiu-jitsu competitors to have ever stepped on a mat. A 10-time Black Belt World Champion and multiple MMA champion, Roger is one of the most decorated fighters of the modern era and a member of the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation Hall of Fame. As the son of Reila Gracie and Mauricio Gomes (who received his black belt from the legendary Rolls Gracie), and grandson of Carlos Gracie, Roger carries on the Gracie family legacy of excellence in martial arts.
At RGA Darlington, the academy operates under the core values established by Roger and Mauricio: Discipline, Consistency, Accountability, Alignment, and Authenticity. The gym offers comprehensive programs in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (both Gi and No-Gi), Judo, and Wrestling for adults and children. With programs ranging from Little Warriors (ages 3+) to advanced adult competition training, including specialized women's classes taught by Ellie Vipond, the academy provides a welcoming environment for practitioners of all levels to develop their skills in a structured, professional setting.
