From the reviews
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is an outstanding martial arts academy that provides top-notch instruction in a friendly and supportive environment. Professor Lobo is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and always willing to help you improve your technique.
We were in town on vacation for Thanksgiving week, so of course I had to see if there were any BJJ places around. I dropped in for 2 of the adult classes here (the morning one and then the adult class that night). The people were very friendly and there was a range of ages and experience levels.
I moved to the area from the North east and was looking for a professionally run training center. After one visit I signed up and enjoy every training day. The Professor is extremely knowledgable and teaches as well as appreciates the importance of perfect technique.
Professor Anibal Lobo, is the original real deal, straight from Brazil came over here with the first wave with Rickson Gracie. Can't get any better than that! I've traveled all over the country and been to many dojos, and absolutely loved it here. Top notch instruction, positive environment.
Your first BJJ class at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Hilton Head
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
