Why Ridgewood Trains at Rival
Ridgewood students make up one of the larger groups on our mats. Parents usually start with our kids classes and a good number end up training in the adult program themselves. Head coach Jared Deubel runs small enough classes that new people get corrected in real time instead of being left to copy whatever they see.
