"My family of 5 practice with the LL BJJ staff at fort mill regularly and love it! We have been training for almost 3 years and couldn’t imagine our lives without it. Beginning BJJ in my 30s after 3 kids was scary to say the least but the staff was incredibly welcoming and warm. Professor Fred Silva is an incredible teacher, and shares his love for the sport, community and family with his students. The dedication of the fort mill staff goes unmatched and I could not recommend this practice and studio more."

"I am a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt based in Brasília. I had the opportunity to train at Lucas Lepri BJJ in Fort Mill and I cannot recommend it enough. The physical structure is absolutely incredible - spacious, clean, and with high-quality mats. I felt extremely welcomed by both instructors and students. With my experience of over +15 years of training, I noticed that what really sets this academy apart is their thoughtful approach to teaching. They offer classes for all ages, from children to elderly, but most importantly, they carefully divide classes by skill level. This ensures that beginners can learn the fundamentals at an appropriate pace, while advanced practitioners can continue to challenge themselves. The academy is led by Professors Lucas and Fred, whose profound expertise is immediately noticeable. Their long and distinguished careers in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu bring a wealth of knowledge to every class. They are not only technically brilliant but also excellent instructors who can explain complex techniques in an accessible way. If you're looking for a BJJ academy in the Fort Mill area with world-class instruction and a supportive community, Lucas Lepri BJJ should be at the top of your list."

"Awesome environment with expert instruction. I've been a member of this school for 4+ years now. I travel a lot so I get the opportunity to experience various schools all over the US, but, LL BJJ is home. The level of instruction is second to none. The crew of guys I train with are awesome. The facility is immaculate and welcoming. My 11 year-old daughter loves to train here as well. Great kids program."
