Learn from instructors who have competed professionally
Ryutai is part of the prestigious Team Calderon, with instructors who have competed nationally and internationally in BJJ and grappling. Our team includes certified black belts and members of the Catalan national team, something difficult to find in general gyms in the area. The difference is noticeable from the first class. It's not just about learning basic techniques, but understanding jiu-jitsu from a professional and competitive perspective, even if your goal is simply to get in shape. The teaching methodology is structured by progressive levels, from fundamentals to advanced competition techniques. Our instructors have real experience on the competition mat. This means they don't just know techniques theoretically, but have applied them under real pressure. That experience translates into more effective teaching, where you'll learn the details that make the difference between executing a technique correctly or failing at the critical moment. Additionally, being part of Team Calderon, our students have access to seminars with international visitors, intensive training camps, and the opportunity to compete representing a team with recognized prestige throughout Catalonia. This creates learning opportunities that go beyond regular classes.
Train in facilities specifically designed for BJJ
Ryutai II, our facility at C del Sol 64 in Viladecans, is specifically designed for grappling martial arts. We have over 150 square meters of certified tatami, the same type used in official BJJ competitions. This is no small detail: training on proper surface prevents injuries and allows practicing throw and transition techniques safely. Equipment includes grappling dummies for practicing chokes and controls, belts and gis of different sizes available to try before buying, and a complementary strength area to work on BJJ-specific physical preparation. All equipment is maintained in optimal conditions and renewed periodically. Schedules are designed for working people. Monday through Friday we're open from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM, allowing you to come after work without rush. Saturdays we train from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, ideal for longer sparring and technique sessions. This schedule flexibility is hard to find in smaller gyms. Additionally, being specialized in contact martial arts and not a general multidisciplinary gym, all infrastructure is optimized for what you really need: space to roll, training partners of different levels always available, and an environment where BJJ is the priority, not a secondary activity among weight machines.
Join an active community of serious practitioners
Training BJJ isn't just a technical matter, it's also finding the right environment. At Ryutai we have over 200 active students, with a strong core of grappling practitioners who come from Gava, Sant Boi, El Prat, Barcelona Airport, Viladecans and throughout the Baix Llobregat region. This means you'll always have training partners at your level with similar goals. The atmosphere is family-friendly but serious. It's not an intimidating gym where only elite competitors train, but it's also not a place where people come to hang out without commitment. Most of our students are working people between 25 and 45 years old looking for a complete sport, practical self-defense, and a community to socialize outside of work. Many of our Gava students have formed informal groups to carpool and make the trip together. This turns the journey into part of the training's social experience. Additionally, coming from outside Viladecans generates a special sense of belonging: you make the effort to travel because you truly value what you find here. The results speak for themselves. We have students who went from zero experience to competing in regional tournaments in less than two years, others who lost over 15 kilos while gaining functional strength and confidence, and parents who brought their children and ended up training themselves. BJJ creates strong bonds, and our community is proof of that.

Historias reales de personas que entrenan en Ryutai
I've been coming from Gava for three years and have never considered changing gyms. At first I thought the 12-minute drive would be a problem, but when you see the level of teaching and the quality of training partners, you realize it's totally worth it. I've tried other places closer to the beach, but the difference is huge. Here the instructors really know BJJ, they've competed, and they correct details that other places don't even mention. Plus, the evening schedule is perfect for coming after work. Now I come four days a week and it's the best thing I've done for my physical and mental health.
My son Eric started training BJJ at Ryutai three years ago when he was 10. As a mother, what mattered most to me was finding professional instructors who knew how to work with children, and we found that here. Not only has he improved tremendously technically, but he's gained discipline, respect, and self-confidence. The 12-minute drive from Gava has never been a problem, in fact we use the trip to talk about how his day went. What I value most is that they treat BJJ seriously but adapted for children, it's not a sports daycare. Now Eric competes in children's tournaments and we're delighted with his progress.
I started at Ryutai a year and a half ago looking for a way to get in shape that wasn't the typical machine gym. BJJ has exceeded all my expectations. I've lost 14 kilos, gained real functional strength, and most importantly, I've found a sport that I'm passionate about and that disconnects me from work stress. Coming from Gava is super easy, I take the C-245 towards C-31 and in 12 minutes I'm changing. The afternoon schedules are perfect, I leave work at 6:00 PM and arrive fine for the 7:00 PM class. The atmosphere is great, there are people of all levels and nobody judges you if you're a beginner. Totally recommended.
