Rising Tide Academy (Columbia) Gracie Jiu-Jitsu - Muay Thai

“Our family LOVES Rising Tide! My kids (both 5) have been going for almost a year and I have seen so much change in their confidence and physical skills. They are much less shy with the instructors and other students, which has carried over into school and other social situations. The instructors are wonderful and do a great job of making the classes fun while also emphasizing components of respect, discipline, and hard work. The gym is always clean and has ample room for parents and siblings to sit and watch the classes. It is such a family friendly environment and we couldn't be happier to be a part of the Rising Tide community!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rising Tide BJJ Academy is hands-down one of the best places to train! The culture here is incredible—everyone is welcoming, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping each other grow, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned grappler. The instructors foster a positive, inclusive vibe that makes every class enjoyable and motivating. The gym itself is spotless, with well-maintained mats and facilities that are cleaned regularly, creating a safe and comfortable environment to train in. The attention to cleanliness really stands out and makes a huge difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Rising Tide BJJ to anyone looking to start or continue their jiu-jitsu journey. The combination of a fantastic community, top-notch instruction, and a pristine facility makes this place a gem. You won’t be disappointed!”

“The facility is clean, the instructors are great, and the atmosphere is fantastic. A few weeks ago, I signed up my son. I saw how helpful jiu-jitsu could be and had to get him into it. The instructors are very nice with the younger kids. Anyone who wants to get in shape, self-confidence , and learn how to defend themselves should try this martial art at this location.”

“Honestly, what's not to love about Rising Tide? The mat space is HUGE and they clean it thoroughly after each class so it always looks and smells super clean. It's great for entire families to train together. The training itself helps deal with stress, anxiety and also builds up your confidence. All of the instructors are extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgable...they really make you feel like family. This is the place to be!”

“I have been training at Rising Tide Academy for nearly nine years and my family for more than ten. Every instructor and the owners are outstanding. They are brilliant teachers and care about each of their students. It has been a truly wonderful experience and I consider them a second family. They have had remarkable success with their women’s program as well, bringing in high level (ie, black belt) women instructors to train girls and women in self defense and competition jiu jitsu. The kids program, needless to say, is amazing - both of my children have participated for years. Bravo, Rising Tide!”
