E J
"If you're looking for a place to train but feel held back by a lack of Jiu-Jitsu or grappling experience, I encourage you to visit Folgo Jiu-Jitsu. I have been training here for almost three years, and I can assure you that you won't find a gym like this anywhere in town. The classes are taught by Gene Folgo, a fantastic instructor with over 20 years of experience in the field. Highly recommended!!!"
Jennie Cante
"I myself have not participated as I don't do jujitsu but I do come by to watch occasionally as moral support for my partner who does. Love the vibes and it is very evident the students appreciate the instructor very much. He's very supportive and kindhearted. Very cool place, would recommend"
Roman
"If you’re looking for somewhere to learn BJJ in RI , then this is the place to go. I’ve been going a few weeks and found Gene to be extremely knowledgeable, highly skilled and passionate about teaching BJJ. The atmosphere was welcoming and supportive making it a great place for beginners. Classes are well-structured and focused on both technique and practical application. I would highly recommend Folgo to anyone looking to learn BJJ in a friendly and professional environment!"
John DiF
"I was apprehensive about starting jiujitsu - being in my 40’s and out of shape so I checked out a few local places. I’m glad I settled on Folgo. Everyone is helpful and welcoming, regardless of your background or experience level. The owner / instructor has an impressive resume in his training and experience. People from all walks of life and all skill levels train here, if you’re on the fence, I urge you to try a class."
