Professor Randy is a wealth of knowledge and can adapt his teaching style to suit the student. Great mix of basics, fundamentals, and Gi/No-Gi on the schedule. Family friendly atmosphere.

Finding a new BJJ gym for our two boys was one of our biggest worries when moving to the Summerville area. We came from Philadelphia where there are tons of high quality options.

Finding a new BJJ gym for our two boys was one of our biggest worries when moving to the Summerville area. We came from Philadelphia where there are tons of high quality options. After trying out a few other local academies nearby, we were really concerned we would not be able to match the close knit family feel of our old home gym. ​Believe Brazilian Jiu Jitsu completely proved us wrong. It is truly a unique place and stands out as the best kids martial arts school around. The environment they have built gives you that exact warm family atmosphere while delivering top notch youth BJJ, self defense, and technique. If you are looking for an incredible kids Jiu Jitsu program in the Summerville area, believe it's Believe.

We were looking for a self defense class and Believe Brazilian Jiu Jitsu came highly recommended. We went for our free trial class and my daughter loved it! We also ended up enrolling our son for the homeschool kids program. We have been going several times a week for 5 months now. Let me start out by saying that Professor Randy and Coach Flavia are some of the most caring and compassionate instructors I have come across in any sport. They put so much time and energy into each one of their students from kids all the way up to adults and it truly shows. They so easily are able to meet every one at their level of training. My daughter is has learned so much that she feels confident and comfortable to go up against adults, even the men. Having a young daughter, I love that Professor Randy and Coach Flavia hold a high standard in the gym of all of its participants that I feel very comfortable having my daughter in the adult classes. My son and daughter are learning so much more than just jiu jitsu, they are learning skills about themselves that will help carry them through life. Could not recommend this place more!!
