welcome to riptide

Our instructors met and trained with the eldest brother and founder of the organization, ninth-degree black belt Carlos Machado. 

For over 40 years, The Machado Brothers have been dedicated to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. All five are living legends in the art. RCJ Machado Jiu-Jitsu believes the practice of martial arts, specifically Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has the ultimate goal of providing students with a tool to improve themselves as individuals by adopting a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
