Having Rich Marten conduct a seminar at my club was a choice I wish I'd made much, much earlier.
As someone who has many seminars under his belt, I can confidently state the Rich's instruction is at the top of the heap. With a fine attention to details, and a genuine concern for all seminar participants, Rich imparted BJJ knowledge with a clarity, focus, and structure that impressed us all. What really stood out was how he actively monitored each student's learning and controlled the pace of instruction as not to overwhelm. He would give select information to students depending on their individual needs, questions, and progress.
Rich was one of the few seminar instructors I've encountered that actively sought participant questions and enthusiastically answered all of them! I was really impressed how Rich also acknowledged his own limitations and focused on what he felt we needed, and what he could teach effectively. Rich provided conceptual information, techniques and drills that greatly informed my instruction and will keep us busy training for many, many months!
Rich is a very down-to-Earth, friendly and generous person, and as with all Harris International-trained black belts, he has set a high standard for instruction. I highly recommend him to anyone of any level who wants to skyrocket his or her technical knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
We will be having him back in the near future (and hopefully for many years to come!)!

I came in Richard Martens' class unsure about my decision to start BJJ,
fearful I'd get choked and tossed around endlessly. What I found was a
bunch of amazing guys who give you all the help and all the advice you
need. The atmosphere is great and every course brings you something new
to learn. Rich alone is worth more than the tuition. He's a great
teacher, always eager to help when you need it and he is clearly
passionate about BJJ. I strongly recommend Nomad BJJ for anyone who's
interested in martial arts.

I've enjoyed learning from Rich for more than 2 years now.
It’s been a great journey and it is only the beginning. Since Rich is one who’s continuously pushes his students and more importantly himself.
What you can expect from Rich is simple: detailed & precise technique teachings, a deep dedication to the Bjj martial art and his legendary humour (this one you will have to judge for yourself)!
