Ray Akers is a Chicago transplant and former 2 sport standout at Concordia University. Ray is currently a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and loves teaching it. His approach to teaching is keep it simple, engaging and fun! When he's not on the mats he can be found stuffing his face with fast food or modeling on instagram.
Highly, highly recommend! I just finished the intensive self defense class and realize past self-defense classes at other places were a waste of time, money, and provided me with a false (and frightening) sense of security. The class was real, it was tough, it made me realize that I can absolutely protect myself and my child against someone much larger than myself but I need the right practical skills. We practiced numerous scenarios over the 5 weeks and each move to address a threat was concise, effective, and something I will remember how to do! Isaac Richard did an awesome job at making the class comfortable and fun while keeping us on-point to what we needed to learn. Everyone at the gym is so friendly and willing to provide their amazing expertise....thank you to everyone at Triumph Fight Academy!
