What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Slade Miller

"Randy is an outstanding coach! I highly recommend him to anyone in the area. He teaches excellent techniques, and I truly enjoyed every practice I attended. Randy loves the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I truly feel his passion in there with every class he teaches. The team at Believe Jiu Jitsu is fantastic. Everyone is incredibly welcoming!"

ZBONEZ

"Believe BJJ in Summerville is an incredible gym that truly feels more like a family than just a place to train. When I first started, my cardio was terrible—I could barely breathe—but it’s improved so much thanks to the consistent training and support. I learn something new every day, and the gym is always clean and welcoming. Professor Randy is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and always willing to help, no matter your level. Coming from a desk job and being away from grappling for so long had taken a toll on me, but training here has genuinely changed my life. I see real progress in my performance, but even more than that, I’m proud of the skills I’m learning and the person I’m becoming. - Zacháô"

Brenda Barber

"Our kiddo has been going to Believe Jiu Jitsu since they opened. Professor Randy’s teaching style and ability to meet each child where they are at in their abilities has led to Noah being engaged and committed to class. Noah thrives under the structured but fun teaching style at this gym."

Zachary Crouch

"Great place to train. -the coaching is excellent -run by understanding and compassionate people -very reasonably priced, not "cheap" but very affordable. The homeschool program is phenomenal (3 mornings a week). Both Randy and Jimmy are naturals with kids (I havent personally seen the other coaches with the kids yet so cant comment). Only thing is I wish there were more no-gi days. There are two no-gi evenings, and an open mat on Sunday but it's the same time as church. Which, I guess it's a good problem to have when the only "criticism" is I wish there was more 🤣"
