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!
