May River BJJ,

1 Sherington Dr suite d, Bluffton, SC 29910, United States

"I am a blue belt and have been to some open mats when I’ve been home on break from school. The gym is so clean and everyone is a great training partner. You can tell that the teaching is top-tier, that everyone is a part of a team and wants to keep everyone safe. I highly recommend you check them out when in town."

"Definitely would go back and visit and if I lived in the area those would be my permanent BJJ home. Definitely a great place to go whether you are on vacation or not. Great instructor and very welcoming atmosphere."

"Was visiting Hilton Head with family and, despite some persistent nagging injuries, needed to train. Got on the mats at May River BJJ. Great place, great people, great facility! Attended a couple of day classes with BJJ instructor Adam Kadela. Class was well structured with warming up through the movements (not the usual run in a circle, stand in staggered lines, etc.), a review of what they'd trained previously, the move(s) of the day that built on what came before, then training from position(s) and open mat. Everyone was very nice and welcoming and I would definitely recommend May River BJJ to anyone who needs their Jiu Jitsu fix when visiting the area or as an academy to train at should one live in the area. Added bonus: Tiago Rocha was visiting from Brazil as he preps for the worlds and taught class one of the days I was there. He passed along some very valuable, practical techniques that I hope to drill back at my home base when we get back. Thanks to Adam and John and the guys for a great academy and experience!"

"Was visiting Bluffton for a wedding this weekend and wanted somewhere to train, googled BJJ near me and May River was the first to show up. I’m thankful they did, had an amazing open mat session. Everyone in the gym was welcoming from the jump, and coach John was a great guy on and off the mat. Doesn’t matter the experience level, would 100% recommend."

"Really enjoyed training at this school while on vacation in Hilton Head. Everyone is wonderful to work with and the instruction from Adam, is top notch. The school is also very clean as mats are sanitized immediately after class or open mat. Well done and looking forward to training at May River BJJ next summer when I’m back in town!"
