What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jacob Howarth
"Houzn Jiu Jitsu Academy is by far the best all around academy in the Charleston, SC area. Professor Rafaello is both equal parts classy-gentleman and badass-surgical BJJ practitioner. Every 3rd Saturday of the month they hold a “Open Houz” and host those from other places/academies for a free event that includes snacks, music, and open mat. I cannot recommend this place enough for both the environment/vibes and the competitive atmosphere."
Ashley Najarian
"Coach Rafael hosts a monthly open mat that my husband has been attending for over a year. I finally joined him today and the experience was everything I had heard about. A positive training environment, mutual respect for all athletes regardless of affiliation, and a really great time. I’m looking forward to returning! Thanks for having us!"
Tyler Stephens
"Came in from out of town and everyone there treated me like family! If you’re looking for an amazing facility, a great vibe and truly genuine people, this is your place!"
Brandon Monaghan
"This review is long overdue because Rafaello and Wanessa go above and beyond for every one of their students. Their new facility is absolutely top notch, but what really sets Houzn apart from anything else around Charleston is the people and the community that they’ve built. Everyone is welcoming, helpful, respectful, and super fun to be around and train with. Highly recommend for people of all ages and levels!"
