I've been an active member at Riptide for about two years. Professors Chris and Dalton are super knowledgeable about everything gi and nogi. The gym offers gi (fundmentals & competition), no-gi (fundamentals & competition), muay thai, mma and kids classes. Classes are offered seven days a week morning and night! There are a wide range of belts that attend and is a super safe environment to learn and train. Dropins are welcome for anyone vacationing at the beach. For anyone contemplating joining or trying the free trial dont make the same mistake I did and wait. Just make the leap and stop by!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough good things about Rip Tide Jiu Jitsu Gym! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt an incredible sense of community and positivity. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it easy for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike to feel right at home. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about the progress and well-being of their students. They take the time to explain techniques thoroughly and are always available to provide guidance and encouragement. I appreciate how they emphasize the importance of respect and camaraderie on and off the mat. What truly sets this gym apart is the vibe. Everyone here is motivated to improve, yet the environment is never intimidating. It’s clear that members are cheering each other on, making every class an enjoyable experience. The diverse mix of people—from kids to adults—creates a dynamic and vibrant training atmosphere that is both fun and inspiring. Whether you're looking to learn self-defense, get fit, or compete, Rip Tide Jiu Jitsu Gym has something for everyone. I’m grateful to have found such a positive place to train, and I look forward to every class! Highly recommend to anyone thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

Our family has been at Rip Tide for about a year and we can’t get enough! All 4 of our kids enjoy the games, drilling, & rolling with their training partners. The balance of discipline and fun keeps them engaged and excited, while pushing them to excel both physically & mentally. When I joined the adult class I found that Rip Tide provides a learning friendly environment where coaches give step-by-step instruction and upper belts offer advice and help. Coach Chris’s knowledge of the martial art and respect for others permeates the entire school. The live sparring gives immediate feedback on retention. The support that Rip Tide offers it’s students is what allows them to grow through a life-long journey of BJJ. Rip Tide also provides a friendly environment for drop-ins and new visitors. I highly recommend Rip Tide to the young and old alike!

Stopped by here while visiting family for the holidays. Went to one open mat session and two classroom sessions. The professor was super nice and professional and I was able to learn some new things. The higher belts were super cool and always down to roll and answer questions.

Both my son and I have been at riptide for just over 1 year. BJJ is addicting and Riptide is a perfect atmosphere for all ages, skills, goals. I have loved every minute of it. Coach Chris is an outstanding practitioner but can also precisely articulate his thoughts and necessary steps of movements. I can recommend him highly.
