Rillion Gracie RI, man, let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. The coach there, he's like a jiu-jitsu wizard, knows his stuff inside out. He’s dedicated to his craft of jiu jitsu and always pays close attention to make a personal connection with all his students. And the crew? They're not just members; they're your jiu-jitsu buddies, partners in crime. I can confidently say I’ve made some friends for life and developed myself into a better man (in ways I didn’t know were possible!)

I've leveled up my jiu-jitsu game, fought in tournaments, and got in much better shape— but it's more than just that. Being part of Rillion Gracie RI is like entering a brotherhood, where the mat is our sacred ground and the vibes are in 4K. These guys aren't just training partners; they're real people with their own wisdom. Gives me that “I know a guy” feeling. Coach Rai does a great job of making people feel at home and engaged with the art of jiu jitsu. Being from Brazil, he understands the culture of BJJ and gives what many of us feel is an authentic experience. If you're looking for a spot that's got the skill, the vibe, and the personal connection, Rillion Gracie RI is where it's at, my dude. Check it out!

Program & Pricing FAQs

I am not an athletic. Can I still participate in martial arts?

Absolutely. Martial arts teaches individuals to be coordinated, flexible and strong. Individuals who don't naturally have these qualities develop them. Someone who does have these qualities develops them even more.

Are these martial arts classes fun?

Yes! After all, these are individuals we're dealing with here. We do a variety of techniques and activities that you will have to learn. We work hard here - but we play just as hard.

What's a good age to start martial arts?

Honestly, practically every age is a good age to start! We also have specific programs for adults. So no matter what age - we've got you covered.

Can martial arts cause injury?

Because we place such a huge focus on safety and injury prevention, we're proud to say that injuries are very few and far between with our program. In fact, because martial arts gets you in great shape, and makes you strong and flexible, people often see LESS injuries in their lives.

Do you have to be in good shape to take martial arts?

Not at all! In fact, many people use martial arts as a way to get in good shape. They come to us out of shape, and quickly become athletic and limber.

Is martial arts violent?

No! Because self-defense technique is taught in martial arts, it's often thought of as violent. However, the philosophies behind martial arts revolve around peace and harmony. The moves are more of a way to become connected with your body. We teach diplomacy and friendship. However, if a violent situation ever arises in your life, you'll have powerful tools to defend yourself and your loved ones.
