Jitsu Academy SC

“Phenomenal Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu School with an Outstanding Women's Program! I can't say enough great things about Jitsu Academy SC! From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed and supported by the incredible community and the outstanding instructors, Danilo Cherman and Jess Cherman. Their passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shines through in every class, making this school an amazing place to train. Danilo and Jess are exceptional teachers who take the time to ensure that each student, regardless of skill level, feels comfortable and challenged. They break down techniques with precision and clarity, making it easy for beginners to grasp the fundamentals while providing advanced insights for more experienced students. Their attention to detail and genuine dedication to their students’ progress set them apart from the rest. One of the standout features of this school is their women’s program, led by Jess Cherman. It's a welcoming, empowering, and inclusive environment where women of all skill levels can train, learn, and grow together. Jess’s ability to foster a strong sense of community while providing top-notch instruction is truly inspiring. The women’s program not only improves your skills on the mat but also builds confidence and camaraderie off the mat. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this school is the perfect place to train. Danilo and Jess ensure that everyone feels encouraged and motivated to achieve their best. The positive energy and supportive atmosphere make every class something to look forward to. If you're considering BJJ, I strongly recommend Jitsu Academy. With Danilo and Jess at the helm, you’re guaranteed to have an amazing experience.”

“I started going on Friday nights about 7 months ago… and I had such a great time that I finally joined the gym a little over a month ago it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Danilo and Jessica are great people and you’ll learn a lot from them”

“I am a 36 year old that just began attending Jitsu Academy to learn something new. It has been an amazing experience so far! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable but able to break concepts down into steps beginners can understand, the staff and members are very kind and encouraging. If you are interested in starting Jiu Jitsu, I highly recommend trying this location out!”

“My son has been training Jiujitsu for almost two years. We’ve tried multiple gyms in the area and all are very commercialized (focused on numbers and not in quality of training). Jitsu Academy is the exception. Coach Danilo and Jessica are phenomenal!!!! They pay close attention to technique and assist their students to learn in a very nurturing way. They have three coaches (including themselves) total in the 7-9 kids class. The right student-coach ratio to ensure safety and technique is adequately executed. No other gym in the area does it like them. They execute drills and practice a lot. My son has improved so much in just a short month training there. Jitsu Academy is hands down the best JiuJitsu academy in the Midlands!!!”

“Excellent school encompassing all aspects of jiujitsu. The world class coaches are very good at observing their students strengths and weakness to develop plans that improve the students jiujitsu game. Everyone from 4 years and up will enjoy learning the sport, improving skill, fitness and self confidence.”
