Rilion Gracie Greenville 600 North Main Street, Greer, SC 29650

"This school is a gem. The coach is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about students. A lot of places claim that but the coach, Totty, genuinely cares. Great atmosphere here."

"When I walked in the door my primary interest was Jiu Jitsu, but now I find that my new ‘family’ is also a major benefit. The atmosphere is excellent thanks to the leadership of Professor Totty and the character of my fellow students. The class schedule allows considerable flexibility. I wish I had started with Rilion Gracie Greenville sooner, but now that I’m on the path I’m having a great time!"

"Months ago I walked in based solely on curiosity with zero experience. I was hooked right away and even better- I found community that I didn’t know I was looking for. Kids, teens, women only, or adults - give it a try!"

"Love training at Rilion Gracie Greenville! Great family environment for Kids and adults. My wife and I have enjoyed training here for years now. Professor Totty is a respected black belt because of his knowledge and has passion for what he does. Highly recommend!"

"My 7 year old son was looking for a place to train while we were away from home. When we walked in, we immediately liked the tight knit vibe. Professor Totty was great. He was personable face to face, but you could tell he knew what he was about on the mat. He wasn't just good at BJJ, but he was good at teaching those skills to young children. He was an excellent coach, and did a great job making every kid included and understood. The class time was split up pretty traditionally. Warmups, drilled a move, reviewed the move and added a combination, followed by a fun competition and then matches. The coaches assisting were involved, knew what was the goal for the day, and were good at providing feedback to the kids as they drilled. There were ample coaches to provide instructions to the number of kids attending. The facilities were clean and welcoming. The restrooms were clean too. The mat space was good sized. There was a seating area for parents to watch, and a water fountain was readily available. The last day we attended, I had a good conversation with the professor, and enjoyed hearing him discuss what it took to build a BJJ culture in the upstate. You could tell this was something he cared about and had spent a lot of time thinking through. We were the immediate beneficiaries as out of town visitors. I'd suggest you get over there and get involved if you are in the Greenville/Greer area."
