I dropped in for 2 weeks and I couldn't have felt more welcomed. Everyone from the instructor to all the white belts were awesome. Tom Sheehan spent every class thoroughly explaining all the techniques in fine detail, to the point that I don't think I'll ever forget any of them for a long time. I stayed to roll after class and, again, everyone was super nice and extremely knowledgeable. If you're in the area for any reason, I HIGHLY recommend you stop by at this gym.

I was looking for a gym to train at while visiting from out of town and was welcomed with open arms to Daniel Island BJJ. Great rolls, family friendly environment, safe and friendly training partners, and excellent instruction by Tom. I would definately recommend Daniel Island BJJ to anyone looking for a local gym, and would definately train there again!

If you’re looking for a great place to train or even to start your Jiu Jitsu journey, Devine BJJ on Daniel island is the place to go in the Charleston area! I only got in a few sessions before moving home, but I was welcomed like a long-time member. Tom Sheehan and the instructors were very knowledgeable and even took the time during my sessions to teach me one on one applicable skills for my job. Highly recommend Devine BJJ!!
