Charleston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

I trained BJJ for several years, but had stopped training in 2019 due to career endeavors. I recently visited Charleston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after being invited by a friend who attends, and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. TOP notch instructing. Coach Nate is highly experienced as a practitioner and instructor, and has outstanding capabilities when it comes to helping each individual pinpoint their own weaknesses and improve their game. There’s a real sense of community amongst the members here. You’ll receive a warm welcome and introduction to training and the team, but be ready to sweat! 💪🏼 Pricing is more than fair (especially since you get access to all classes with membership), and they also offer a military discount. My first class was free, and they have uniforms you can use until you’re able to purchase your own (the ones they sell are high quality too). If you’re looking for a solid BJJ gym, group and individualized coaching, solid teammates to train with and a great way to burn some calories/build strength, this would be a great fit for you.

Highly recommend! We’ve been wanting to start our daughter in BJJ and the location, coach, and other members couldn’t be more perfect for us! Coach Nate is great during the kids classes. He’s patient, explains skills well, and even incorporates our son when able. Both Coach Nate and Jessica are extremely welcoming and personable. They offer a trail class which I recommend. After our daughter started I tried a trail class and now we’re both hooked! Family friendly environment and the other member are great with including the kids in warmups before the adult classes start. Having been a competitive athlete who’s running days are behind them; BJJ is prefect for getting a full body workout and strengthening which is essential as you age. There is a good mix age wise and Coach demos new skills and breaks things down for beginners. If you’re looking for a welcoming, challenging but rewarding workout, and doing it with amazing people, this is the place for you!

Highly recommended! We wanted to have our 8 year old son join a martial art for exercise and help build character and he absolutely loves it, he would go everyday if he could. He loves coach Nate and all the members. He’s not just learning BJJ, but he’s also learning leadership, working, coaching and helping others, and it building his confidence - it’s such a great atmosphere that my husband and I joined as well.

As someone who hasn’t done any combat sport I can say coach Nate is extremely great at bringing you from the ground up. I’ve been attending for about 2 months and the friends here are amazing they go out of their way to teach me on top of all the practices. Everyone is welcomed here no matter ur age, sex, or race there is plenty of diversity within us. If you’re thinking about starting BJJ Charleston Brazilian Jui-Jitsu LLC is the place to go!

This place is a 10!! Coach Nate is the best! We have been bringing both of ours kids (son & daughter) for the last 3 months and we can already see a difference in both of them, when it comes to commitment and confidence. Coach Nate has made this place feel like an extension of our family. My wife has also joined and really enjoys it as well.
