Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy

I’ve been training here for almost 2 years and I am MORE than satisfied! I’ve experienced a lot of other academies moving from Long Beach, Ca to Miami. Thank God I found Rilion Gracie HQ because they are absolutely legit! The instruction is top tier. The instructor’s: Professor Rilion, himself (I mean, come on!), Professor Rogan Gracie, and professor Daniel are cream of the crop. Legendary! My teammates are awesome, respectful, helpful, very welcoming, and everyone strives to get better. Iron sharpens iron. I feel like my BJJ game has drastically improved in a short period of time because of the environment: hungry, egoless, teammates and REAL instructors who live and breathe jiu jitsu. Proud to say Rilion Gracie HQ is my home!

It has been a month of regular practice and I am here to tell you - if you are in search of an authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu training, you are in luck - this is definitely the best place. I completely agree that joining a new martial arts class could be daunting and intimidating, but everyone here, from the professors to the upper belt ranks are nothing but hospitable, helpful and supportive. Friendship and camaraderie are felt throughout the classes, and I am very happy to share that I have found a place to call home in BJJ. Very grateful for the opportunity to be able to learn from one of the descendants of Carlos Gracie - Roggan, who has been incredibly supportive and inviting on the commencement of my journey. Great instruction by professor Daniel as well, whose sense of humor and lightheartedness have taken off the edge of starting on a challenging and exciting path of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu adventure. Under the “Adopt a White Belt” rotation during rolling, all of the sessions I have had the opportunity to be a part of with higher belts have been very challenging, but very rewarding as well.

Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the best place for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Miami. The instructors are very skilled, knowledgeable, and supportive, and the staff and community are welcoming, making it a great place to improve your BJJ, grappling, and self-defense skills.

My son has been taking classes at Rilion for the past year, starting when was 4-years old. They teach great technique and discipline. I Highly recommend it!

Amazing jiu jitsu school. Professor Daniel is great with the children, he teaches not only good technique but respect and discipline, my daughter loves going to classes there!
