TAP Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

"TAP is a top-notch Jiu-Jitsu academy led by distinguished professors who bring exceptional expertise and achievements to the mat. Their innovative teaching methodology ensures every student—from kids to adults—progresses effectively at their own pace. Having trained directly with Thalys in Brazil, I can attest to their excellence, which is why I make TAP my training home during my competitive visits to America. The academy provides a safe, clean, and excellent training environment where a supportive community helps each member thrive, from beginners taking their first steps to aspiring champions pursuing their goals, like myself. I see you guys again soon!"

"TAP is as close to perfect as anything I could ask for in the jiu-jitsu world. It is a very safe and empowering environment. They are very intentional about everything they do from the kids classes to the adults class. Happy to have found TAP!"

"The best school around Fort mill, Rock hill, Indian land, Charlotte and beyond. We tried several schools but ended up here in TAP. Kids can learn here real jiu jutsu in right organized protected way. Also You (adult beginners)would train with multiple time world champion couches(there is not many black belt couches train with white belts). Professor Thalys’s couching skill is very impressive and he gives all details about technique. How good they are ? You can watch their tournament fights in You Tube."
