So glad I found May River BJJ during our get away to Hilton Head. My boyfriend was able to get in some good rolling time during their open mat hours, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. May River BJJ had an all around positive, clean, safe and welcoming rolling environment. We were worried we wouldn’t find a good BJJ place while we were out of state but we are glad we found May River BJJ. I’d highly recommend it if you’re not local like us or unsure of where to go to get in some good, fun and productive training. Thanks again for having us.

My musha shugyo continues. This time I’m in Bluffton, South Carolina at May River BJJ. May River BJJ has a welcoming and friendly culture in their gym. Everyone was all smiles and laughs. Exactly what you need to offset the fact we are all trying to choke each other out. I caught the morning No-Gi classes run by one of their coaches Blnd. I haven't trained at a lot of gyms that utilize an ecological approach to BJJ. I have to say, I love it. It’s incredibly beginner friendly and a lot of fun, especially if you want to work on your stand-up game. I really appreciate that their rolling culture is one that has practitioners start from standing up. (No shame in guard pulling!) Let’s talk about the facilities: Clean and hygienic (as are the people there!) No public shower, so bring wipes. The mat size is spacious and allows multiple groups to wrestle. This gym is perfect if you’re near Hilton Head Island and want to get some training in. They’re (of course) drop-in friendly with a great schedule that provides multiple opportunities to train in a day/week. Stop on by!

Love this school. My daughter started training here over a year ago and the coaches are absolutely amazing with the kids. There is a lot of experience between all the coaches. The community is so amazing that I started training at the age of 49 all because my daughter and the coaches thought I would like it and they were right, I love it. Come and check out MAY RIVER BJJ and learn jiujitsu you and your kids will love it. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I've been training at May River BJJ for over 4.5 years now, and it's been an incredible experience from the start. The camaraderie here is something special—you feel welcome right from the start. One of the things I appreciate most is the variety of styles and perspectives the instructors bring. Each one has a unique approach, which keeps the training fresh and helps you grow in different ways. Whether you're brand new or have years of experience, you'll find a welcoming and challenging environment to train in. Highly recommend!
