Rilion Gracie Greenville

“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.”

“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.”

“I 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!!!!!!”

“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.”
