Rilion Gracie Greer deserves full recognition for the consistent quality of instruction by Totty and the welcoming atmosphere, he makes everyone feel like family. The other instructors are very knowledgeable, patient and attentive, taking time to explain techniques and making sure students of all levels understand and most importantly feel like they can do it. The training is structured in a way that balances discipline with encouragement, so everyone feels supported while still being pushed to improve. The facility is well-kept, clean, and the team culture is respectful both on and off the mat. It’s a place where you can build skill, confidence, and friendships without feeling overwhelmed. I cannot say enough about Totty and the other instructors it’s clear that the staff truly care about the growth of their students on and off the mat. Osss
Posted 7 months agoGreat atmosphere and staff! It was the perfect place to get my little ones started with jui-jitsu. There are plenty of adults, teens, and womens classes available for any older folks. In addition to martial arts, my kiddos are learning discipline, respect, and confidence. Everyone there has been inviting and supportive. It's a family friendly, fun environment and I cannot express how much we're enjoying our time here.
Posted 9 months agoI haven’t personally been to this business yet, but I know many of my friends have and speak highly of it. However, I had the pleasure of meeting Totty yesterday, and in just a short conversation, it was clear how kind, down-to-earth, and genuine he is. You can immediately tell how much he cares about his people and his business, always looking for ways to improve and create the best experience possible. That kind of passion and dedication is such a great quality for a small business owner in our town, and it’s exactly what makes local businesses thrive. If the business reflects even a fraction of his commitment, I have no doubt it’s an amazing place!
You’ve heard about it, you’ve watched it on TV, you know someone who is training and you have thought about it from time to time. Taking the first step onto the Mat will change everything about you, reveal and come face to face with hidden weakness and fears, CUT ego down to the roots, sift out short comings in your life, thoughts, emotions and reveal invisible strengths nothing else would be able to reveal. Jiu Jitsu is not just a Martial Art, a sport , a hobby , or like any other thing Jiu Jitsu its a way of Life and what Rillion Gracie Greenville offers is the best version of all that Jiu Jitsu has to offer. Professors Totty, Warren, Jonathan, Coaches Max, Tony, Abby, David, Sophia are absolute silent professionals, some of the most talented and brilliant, yet humble and kind people I have ever encountered in my life. The community of veterans, service members, officers, and every day warriors ( moms dads, grandparents ) that congregate at Rillion Greenville are an absolute Blessing. My son and I are honored to be part of this Family. So if you’ve ever considered it, stop researching, watching, and thinking about it and join in, you will be VERY glad you did. It's Hard, if it were easy everyone would do it, but it's Worth it! Worth the effort Worth the money and Worth the time. Thank you Rillion Gracie Greenville for everything you have done to bring this here to share with all of us!!!!!!
This Jonah Camacho and I am going there currently and the works and moves are phenomenal, If I made it to ADCC, I would dominate Ryan Gordon
I travel all over for months at a time and have trained with many different professors and at different gyms. Professor Totty is one of the kindest and most welcoming people and his knowledge of Jiu Jitsu is deep. Was able to train here for about a month before having to leave again and would recommend this gym to anyone whether you’re brand new to the sport or are an experienced grappler.
Great place to train. Prof Totty is a fantastic high level BJJ praticioner with a school geared for your entire family. Every high belt at the school is very welcoming and there is a variety of skill levels to practice with.
We LOVE Rilion Gracie! My son is VERY high energy and Professor Totty does a wonderful job keeping him engaged while balancing patience with discipline. My son is learning the fundamentals while having a blast and that’s what it is all about for the kids.
I attend the women’s classes and everyone and everything has been awesome! I would highly recommend Rilion Gracie Greenville!
Our son has been training at the gym with Totty for a couple years now and it's amazing. It's like one big family. Totty is so patient with the kiddos and beyond knowledgeable with his training. So happy to belong to such a great organization.
Great environment to train!! Wether it be for kids , teens or adults. Everyone gets top notch training from Professor Totty and his Upper Belts. Can't give enough praises and Ten stars would be more fitting!!!
Love training here!! Great instruction and community!
Great instructors. Not a belt farm, they make you earn your ranks.
We’ve been very thankful and grateful for not only Prof Totty’s instruction but also the time and instruction from all higher belts. Josh would not have been able to do what he has be able to without such a great group and atmosphere.
Great gym, great BJJ culture, diverse range of ages and experience levels, excellent kids programs, and they are very law enforcement friendly and supportive of officers training there.
Excellent place with profesor Tori leading this nice group. Very welcoming and friendly
Rilion Gracie has become my second family. Amazing people who help you on and off the mat. Training is top notch by Professor Totty and Professor Warren. Nothing is given but only earned.
When I walked in the door my primary interest was Jiu Jitsu, but now I find that my new ‘family’ is also a major benefit. The atmosphere is excellent thanks to the leadership of Professor Totty and the character of my fellow students. The class schedule allows considerable flexibility. I wish I had started with Rilion Gracie Greenville sooner, but now that I’m on the path I’m having a great time!
I have really enjoyed training here. Friendly and constructive environment. Plenty of classes throughout the week. Highly recommend
The folks at this place are amazing. A great team to train with and lots of good experience in there. Definitely recommend!
Months ago I walked in based solely on curiosity with zero experience. I was hooked right away and even better- I found community that I didn’t know I was looking for. Kids, teens, women only, or adults - give it a try!
Love training at Rilion Gracie Greenville! Great family environment for Kids and adults. My wife and I have enjoyed training here for years now. Professor Totty is a respected black belt because of his knowledge and has passion for what he does. Highly recommend!
I love coming here I’ve been doing BJJ for a year now great Professors and great people Martial arts is great for the body and the mind it teaches great discipline.🤙🏾❤️
My 7 year old son was looking for a place to train while we were away from home. When we walked in, we immediately liked the tight knit vibe. Professor Totty was great. He was personable face to face, but you could tell he knew what he was about on the mat. He wasn't just good at BJJ, but he was good at teaching those skills to young children. He was an excellent coach, and did a great job making every kid included and understood. The class time was split up pretty traditionally. Warmups, drilled a move, reviewed the move and added a combination, followed by a fun competition and then matches. The coaches assisting were involved, knew what was the goal for the day, and were good at providing feedback to the kids as they drilled. There were ample coaches to provide instructions to the number of kids attending. The facilities were clean and welcoming. The restrooms were clean too. The mat space was good sized. There was a seating area for parents to watch, and a water fountain was readily available. The last day we attended, I had a good conversation with the professor, and enjoyed hearing him discuss what it took to build a BJJ culture in the upstate. You could tell this was something he cared about and had spent a lot of time thinking through. We were the immediate beneficiaries as out of town visitors. I'd suggest you get over there and get involved if you are in the Greenville/Greer area.
Awesome place with some serious high level experienced black belt Brazilian jujitsu instructors! Plus the owner is so down to earth, obviously loves the art, and truly cares about each of the students from 4 year old kiddos to 90 year old kiddos! Recommend anyone stop by to check the studio out and see all the fun.
Very family and team oriented place. Everyone is super welcoming and knowledgeable.
The best BJJ there is in the Upstate! Our entire family trains. Kids class, teen class, women’s only class, and adult class. All classes are very detailed, and well instructed. It’s one BIG family! Everyone matters here!! My children and myself have gained so much self confidence and enjoy the whole family training together with Dad. No better gym around!
Very friendly and professional. With a great professor Totty that show a lot respect and knowledge.
Amazing gym! Coach Totty is very professional and welcoming towards everybody. The gym has a very strong community and everybody supports each others no matter the rank. Training here is fun yet challenging. If you are thinking about joining a gym in Greenville area I can VERY highly recommend Rilion Gracie Greenville!
I was traveling to Greenville, and I asked if I could drop in. I was immediately welcomed and everyone was super cool and made me feel like I was part of the team. I definitely recommend this school, great technique and atmosphere - thank you for the warm welcome! OSS🤙
Best jiu jitsu academy in the upstate! Super family feeling.
Amazing!! The master is so great with the kids, patient, kind, but demands respect and teaches them well! Can’t wait to start my daughter in classes when she’s old enough!
Amazing environment for beginners and advance students. The professor is very patient with the kids. In the adult class he is knowledgeable, and skillful with his moves, and he knows how to translate his skill set to you in words and demonstrations. The whole class, especially the higher belt students are very helpful, and make it easy for you to learn
Nice facility, great training options (some not seen on the site), and coach/professor was very pleasant and passionate. Seemed like on overall fantastic training atmosphere. I have not partaken in a training session here yet but looking forward to giving it a go soon and will update the rating accordingly after.
Details of my experience? One word .. incredible.
So welcoming, you’ll feel you belong as soon as you step in the clean and classy school. Detailed high level instruction, great for beginners and awesome for the advanced too. Give it a try, thank me later😆👍
I love this place, everyone is so nice. The mat is always so clean. And my teen boy is learning so much discipline and also it is an amazing workout for him.
The best professor you will ever find! excellent environment, cool team and a squeaky clean studio!!
Very clen, professional gym. Family environment.
This is a great art to learn. 90% of fights lead to the ground so being able to defend yourself is the best feeling ever. Women are more vulnerable then men are. Being able to learn a great art will also boost a lot of self confidence but also improve other aspects of your life. For example it has helped me become a vigilant person. I use to be very oblivious to things. The instructor is an amazing, caring person. Everybody there gets along well. Everybody wants to help you and it’s not sexist. I will 100% recommend the place. The price is great as well. Hopefully to see new people there soon!:)
Everyone is respected and valued ( whether it’s your first day of grappling or your very experienced ) by the coaches and teammates. I always feel at home, welcomed and have fun.
As a woman it is wonderful to have support from everyone especially the awesome girls gang! It makes such a difference in my training. Totti is a fabulous instructor and I can’t imagine training anywhere else.
Great place, awesome people, been going there for almost two years now 👍
Phenomenal instruction, people, environment, and facility. Highly recommend!
Great for the beginners like me or the advanced people. After contacting several different gym in the area about starting my BJJ journey Professor Totty at Rilion Gracie Greenville was the only one who messaged me back. After day one I felt like I was part of the family. Rilion Gracie Greenville is all about being a part of a family, training hard, and making yourself better everyday.
Best Brazilian Jujitsu Gym around. Walked in and immediately everyone treated me like family. Just feels like paradise great people and training.Recommend 100%
Awesome place, they treated me like family the day I walked through the door. Totty, the teacher, is super friendly and a great teacher. Highly recommend training here.
Rilion Gracie Greenville has an exceptional team and can prepare anyone at any level-- from beginners to competitors or even those looking for self defense training. Everyone is welcoming and treats each other like family here. Totty has definitely built one of the best teams in the upstate!
The team makes you feel welcome when you walk in the door and then in the blink of an eye, it's been 2 years and you have a second family. Highly Recommend 💪
Great place to train! Knowledgeable instructors and a friendly family environment.
One of the best school environments I’ve ever trained at. Welcoming, great rolls and classes!
The environment of professionalism and dedication to the art fosters a sense of accomplishment with every class I go to. You truly get out what you put in.
Best place to train BJJ in the upstate. Very friendly but also so challenging. No easy rolls there!!! Oss 🤙🏼
This place is family, awesome atmosphere, hard training Wouldn't train anywhere else
Regardless of age or experience, this place is open and welcoming to every one! As someone in his 40's, I was a little worried about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time, but everyone has been so encouraging and helpful that I regret it taking so long for me to get started. The conditioning classes have been a great way to improve my cardio and I've even lost nearly 15 pounds in 3 months. I also love the fact that even though I'm beginner, we all train together and learn the same principles. Do yourself the favor and give it a shot!
Great place! Totty (head instructor) treats everyone like family and is truly interested in helping you progress. The gym atmosphere is serious but not to the point where those of us who are not looking to make a career out of BJJ or MMA are out of place. Top level instruction taylored to the individual. Great location and super clean with good equipment. Totty, and other instructors, are always looking at improving the gym, instruction and the apprentice. Highly recommend stopping by and seeing if this is the right place for you!
I was told to bring my child and what type of clothing to wear for their first time. We get there and waited almost an hour while others practiced. I had to ask another parent and was told that my child could have started today. We just left.
