Awesome BJJ school! From the coaching to the atmosphere to the other students. Highly recommended if you want to learn high level jiujitsu in a welcoming, safe and friendly environment. I’ve been a student of Professor Ramos for 4 years and he’s the best!

Rilion Gracie Rhode Island builds a strong martial arts foundation rooted in fitness and competition.
We instill students with key Jiu-Jitsu knowledge and techniques so they can stand on their own in competitive situations. Every martial artist who trains here learns to be a better individual on and off the mat. This character is contagious and represents the Rilion Gracie Rhode Island culture.
Our Story
Rilion Gracie Rhode Island owner Rai Ramos came to the United States from Brazil to open his own Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy. When he first started his new life in the US, he worked in construction to raise money for his dream. For three years, he lived without martial arts and was doubtful he’d ever train again. Then he started teaching BJJ classes out of his basement and started training again. He fell back in love with the art and worked harder than ever before to reach his initial goal. Today, he’s living his dream of owning an academy,spreading the benefits of Jiu-Jitsu throughout the community and helping people be the best version of themselves.

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!
More Confidence. More Focus. Get Fit.
