Rising Tide Jiu Jitsu

"This is the best gym in town hands down. I tried years ago to get into jiujitsu at another gym and was completely turned off by the coaches and owners there. When I found this gym I truly fell in love with jiujitsu. The lessons are structured and easy to follow, every time I leave I feel confident that I gained/improved a skill. The owner cares about the safety of his students as well as making sure everyone feels like they belong. The owner and coaches have created an environment that is easy to learn and thrive in and I am so thankful I am able to train here. Whether you are looking for a place to start your jiujitsu journey or continue it, this is it."

"Zach is an exceptional BJJ instructor! His patience and dedication have significantly improved my understanding and skills in the sport. He has an amazing ability to break down complex techniques into easily understandable steps which makes learning enjoyable and effective. There's a supportive and encouraging environment which has greatly boosted my confidence on the mat. I highly recommend Rising Tide to anyone looking for a great community and looking to start/advance their BJJ practice."

"I started with no experience, Zach and team have been super helpful and welcoming. I would suggest this gym to anyone wanting to start BJJ in gainesville."

"I’ve been interested in Jiu Jitsu for a while and finally decided to give it a go when Zack opened rising tide. He offers a very inviting and accepting environment for everyone, regardless of experience. I learn so much and have a lot of fun every time I step foot into the gym. I highly recommend training at rising tide."
