Renzo Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

My son wanted to start martial arts and I reached out to my friends who did BJJ. They recommended attending their school. We did the trial class and he wanted to sign up immediately. A little over a year later, my son is still attending and loving his classes. My friend teaches a women’s only class which I started to attend this past summer. It’s a great way to learn BJJ in a smaller setting. The coaches here are all knowledgeable and help their students reach their full potential. Professor Marcelo has created a great BJJ community where you are able to learn from dedicated teachers. I highly recommend at least coming in for a trial class if you or your child has an interest in BJJ.

Great BJJ training facility plenty of mat space, exercise area for strength training. Friendly environment great group of training partners. Awesome kids program! Professor Marcelo Cruz is a great instructor with great details breaking down positions….Highly recommended!!! Come train. Oss

My son really enjoys attending Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in North Smithfield. The instructors are very nice, patient, and great with the kids. It’s a positive and welcoming environment, and we’re happy with the experience. I would definitely recommend this school to other families. ---

I have been training at RGRI for just under a year and have experienced such a welcoming, knowledgeable and encouraging community since my first class. I wish I had started earlier in my life and am so grateful to have found them now! Our school leader, Professor Marcelo Cruz, has boundless knowledge of BJJ and lots of patience for eager beginners like myself. From hosting amazing seminars with very talented and highly accredited masters of the sport, to having class available every day of the week, what you can learn and experience here is priceless. If you want to learn self defense, compete, be part of an amazing community, or all of the above! This is the best place to be

Amazing BJJ school. I have been going for about 8 months and liked it so much, I signed up my nephews for the kids program. Professor Marcelo is the real deal. So much experience, knowledge, skill and dedication to the sport. Everyone here is so nice and welcoming no matter your experience.
